Here's my week long, life lesson..."ITS THE AUDACITY FOR ME!"
Quick question, at what point do celebrity Black men with massive platforms understand the power of their negative words affecting the Black community? Asking as a Black woman who is just simply perplexed and triggered. #yallreallydontcare #simplyamazingtosee

Thank you @clairecm @sarahkliff for lifting up our voices as patient, community & content experts. Thanks for citing the PREM-OB Scale!! We can’t change what we don’t name, measure, monitor, prevent & mitigate using narratives & numbers. @CulturalRigor nytimes.com/2023/05/06/ups…
Academia is violent AF towards Black and Brown people. I don’t care what you say. Within 48 hours, I am participating in ways to support Black/Brown women and queer scholars. Some of you all made it through with great success while others are surviving unspeakable violence.
My daughter just asked my birth year and I said 1976, and she said, "Dang! That's close to the Holocaust." And I was going to object, but it's actually closer to the Holocaust than it is to the present day and now I'm messed up for the rest of the day.
Look at how OBGYN & other medical departments, residency programs & fellowship programs bragged about having the largest #’s of Black faculty, residents & fellows in 2020 & 2021. Where are they now? How is the experience vs expectation? How many Black folks remain & thrive?

Nobody told me but the hardest part of adulting is watching your parents grow old.
Thinking this morning of @AnnCurry @soledadobrien @tamronhall @jemelehill @TiffanyDCross Those who know.
I refuse to play small. That’s what I have been doing for 20 years since I graduated from medical school in 2002. And 20 years later, THIS is the state of obstetric and perinatal care for, by, and with Black mothers & birthing people and our given & chosen kin. Yeah… it’s time.
I just signed up for emails and entered my birthday info. As soon as I complete my September travels, I am ordering so many delicious flavors for this Southern BW who loves LOVES ice cream …. well food in general “Food is my love language!” So excited for @socreamalicious !!!
Dear @POTUS. I’m a social worker. I left graduate school 20 yrs ago with over $52,000 in student loans. I’ve made every payment since and still owe $42,000. It’s almost all gone to interest…I’ve paid $48,000 but still owe $42,000😩☠️ 😭🤦🏻♀️ #CancelStudentDebt @DebtCrisisOrg
Hey Fam. I've been absent because my mom was moved to hospice care 2 weeks ago. She peacefully passed away at 2:49 this afternoon. While I'm devastated and heartbroken, I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord 🙏🏾. I loved her more than there are words💔💔

@BlackWomanFirs1 Wowwww! Thanks to the extraordinary Med Dir & CEO of @Village_Healing , Black CNM @BlackWomanFirs1 !! I’m so proud to be your collaborating physician. I hope other values-praxis aligned Black OBGYNs follow this model of lifting up Black-owned Black Midwifery Models of Care. 🙌🏾🤩
Thank you. I feel similarly abt “microaggressions” in medicine, medical education, nursing education, health care, and higher education in general. The amount of resources including time, emotional intelligence, & money we waste trying to make our abusers comfortable is wild.
I’m still GEEKED. Gabbe, a Father of Contemporary Obstetrics read our PP paper, emailed me in gratitude & support. I thanked him on our behalf & introduced him to The PREM-OB Scale™️ Suite. He then added more folks to the email. I’m here 2day bc of @drdanaaindavis @drcooperowens
Single men are lonely while single women, specifically Black cis gender women, are outtchea living our best #RichAuntie lives in solidarity about our solitude and safety. Cuz ain’t nobody got time for misogynoir in standard “unhealthy” relationships.
Given the requirement for DEI statements for new faculty, why are your universities and colleges reproducers of imperialist white heteropatriarchal supremacist scholarship? I guess existing faculty don’t have to perform DEI only new faculty. Mmm’Kay.
