Although just having Black people represented in medicine is not enough, it is still very important. Cause our very existence is therapeutic. It makes a difference. We also need the support and systemic changes to actually thrive in this field.

Pharmacists are a great way to close this disparity. #TwitteRx, I'd love to hear what you are doing in your practice to close the gap.

I’ve officially been a PI for 1 year, thought I’d be further along by now but I guess things are happening as they should… trying to give myself grace and trust the process, I’m sure I’m doing fine 😬

Last month I received the NCTE CCCC Braddock Award for my article on the literacy & rhetorical practices of incarcerated people & the podcast Ear Hustle Podcast. Grateful to have something that I wrote deemed “best of the year” but also honored to amplify work happening behind bars.

Your research career success is NOT guaranteed when you decide NOT to take time for yourself.

Life right now..

We're getting a Buc-ee's and people are losing their minds lol

I'm quoted in CNBC on the rise of pharmacy deserts 🏥📉 and the role of PBMs in drug store closures. We need to find solutions that ensure all communities have access to medications and care. #PharmacyDeserts #PBMs #TwitteRx #PharmacoEquity 🔗cnb.cx/4dFT9EJ

To these professional orgs, your silence is noted. Just know that.
