In honor of #AAPIHeritageMonth , we're showcasing the journeys of five people with kidney disease who made history. kidney.org/newsletter/5-a…

I'm a Black disabled woman. I survived cancer, a stroke, trauma, chronic pain. So there's a (not so small) part of me that can't believe that I get to wake up everyday & take care of other disabled folks. But I do. I talked about that & a lot more with the incomparable Lisa M Meeks, PhD, MA

A lot of people are dragging this person. The knee jerk reaction of “92% coverage?! That’s amazing! Why are you complaining. Leave the country.” This shows how low the bar has been set for health insurance coverage in the US. Let’s put on our empathy hats for a moment.

Imagine

I returned to residency 6 months after my 2nd double lung transplant. A month later I ended up really sick with CMV & needed to go on leave. I was told how inconvenient it was for everyone. I never returned to residency from that leave 😍 now I’m loving life in industry 🙌🏼
