Early Lives

The trio is made up of Dr. Rameck Hunt, Dr. Sampson Davis, and Dr. George Jenkins. All three grew up in Newark, New Jersey, where they met each other in high school.[2] The three grew up in public housing and were members of low-income families.[2] During high school, the three made a pact to get through high school, college, and medical school successfully.[3]

Rameck Hunt grew up in a childhood where the only person he could depend was his grandma. He had many ups and downs in his life, like dealing with his mom being a drug addict, hanging with the wrong crowd who got him into trouble, and thinking the way to succeed in life is by selling drugs and stealing. Even though he kept hanging out with the wrong crowd, he wanted to be a different person. With the help of his two friends Sampson and George, he came to be a successful person. The hardest thing he had to overcome was his anger problems. When he was in high school, he sprayed a teacher with silly string, beat a boy up and broke his neck. He had to go to court and jail. He decided he had to deal with his anger problems and let go. He started to go to school more he signed up for and got good grades in school, he turned his life around and graduated from medical school. (We Beat the Street by Dr. Rameck Hunt, Dr. Sampson Davis, and Dr. George Jenkins)

College and Later

All three doctors attended Seton Hall University, on courses paid for through a scholarship program.[2] During college, Hunt, Davis, and Jenkins often felt like giving up, and they sought advice from college counselor Carla Dickson.[4] After college, Hunt and Davis attended medical school, while Jenkins attended dental school. This was the first time since high school in which the three were split.[2] All three passed and earned medical degrees at their respective schools.

Speaking

None of the members of the group ever speak individually; they always speak as a group.[1] They speak throughout the United States at different venues and times of the year. They also accept requests to speak at private venues, such as schools.[1]
