Points Black scholars keep making: - Correction is not derision - Critiques of whiteness are about structure & systems of power, NOT individual white people - Discourse on structural racism makes you uncomfortable because those racist bones in your body are acting up again

Get this. Last night I, along with a coalition of Black physicians, met with the President and Senior Leadership of the AMA. Here’s what went down: A thread.

KEY MESSAGES ABOUT RACISM Racism exists Racism is a system Racism saps the strength of the whole society We can act to dismantle racism PRINCIPLES FOR ACTION Value all individuals + populations equally Recognize + rectify historical injustices Provide resources according to need

DMX made some bangers but my favorite DMX song is when everyone assumed he’d need some assistance remembering these lyrics:

The FIRST EVER proclamation on Black Maternal Health Week! See here:whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/… #BMHW21 #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BlackMamasMatter

FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Announces Initial Actions to Address the Black Maternal Health Crisis #BMHW21 #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BlackMamasMatter whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

I made this graphic to celebrate Black Maternal Health Week. Please feel free to share widely so we can keep the conversation going💙

Reproductive health disparities are NOT limited to obstetrics outcomes. Inequities exist in #infertility & #NIAW2021 is an excellent time to educate patients AND physicians. Our infographic was developed with @BirthEquity and @ReprodMed Please share widely! #whatIwantyoutoknow

This thread reminds me of a recent conversation I had about the gaslighting nature of how "resilience" is used. No one judges a rubber band for breaking when it is stretched too far. From how stretched are we expected to bounce back? #HelpingHealersBeWell

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.

I’m grateful to KevinMD.com for allowing me to share my thoughts on how being human helps rather than hinders clinicians in excelling at work. #StartWithWellbeing #WellbeingWednesday Reclaiming humanity in health care kevinmd.com/2024/04/reclai… via Kevin Pho, M.D.

My brilliant colleague Emory School of Medicine classmate Jattu Senesie, MD reminds us to bring #humanity to our #birth work Isn’t that at the heart of the Black #maternalhealth crisis? When patients aren’t seen as fully human and providers lose their humanity 😔 kevinmd.com/2024/04/reclai…
