Honored to be a part of this with some amazing physicians.

I received many “Thinking of you” and “I wish I knew how to help” texts from white allies this week. I’ve ignored most of them. I needed to feel my rage, my crisis of faith in all of you. But as my birthright burden dictates, I’m once again ready to continue your education. 1/

“I would die for my child” Ok…. But would you live for your child? You die once but you have to get up and commit to living daily. Would you live a healthier life? Would you be willing to take care of your mind and soul? Would u be willing to put in the effort to age well?

It is OK to eat cookies. It is OK to stay up late. It is OK to skip a workout. It is OK to binge watch tv. It is OK to eat out. It is NOT OK to make this a habit #health #longevity #antiaging
