🔥 This thread on gun violence. Communities of color need resources that address the many opportunities that were stripped from them. Your perspective is valued and needed in the field of medicine. .. come on and graduate 😊 #innercity #gunviolence #mysoror

After missing class today, I received this email from my small group preceptor who is also a [bomb] Black woman in medicine. I feel seen, validated, and cared for. Sometimes it is as simple as pressing send on that email.

Futures in Science and Medicine 101: Underrepresented in Science and Medicine Chat with Current Latinx Medical Students @Northeast_LMSA Share widely & RSVP here for 11/11 5PM EST docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

My least favorite email I received so far today was from a colleague (at another medical school) linking to an article co-written with their parent (a professor themselves). When curiosity got the best of me, I found this wasn't the first time they've published together. (1/X)

After finishing a chat with Black women's health champion, Dr. Fleda Mask Jackson, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the giants that have laid the foundation for me to do the work that I am so passionate about. Soaking up all of her gems. Did I mention she's a Spelman alumna? 😍

Sharing intellectual capital and lived experiences with other Black women gives me so much fuel in a time of so much uncertainty.

!!! Thank you Carina Seah, PhD Paloma Orozco Scott @StaciLeisman for showing us how advocacy can change our entire health system in months. One fewer example of race-based medicine here, effective today!

Normalize making the path easier for those who follow after you.

Wanna s/o my school's SNMA Taylor Harrell (she/her) (President) & many others who almost 1yr ago wrote a MASSIVE doc outlining transformational anti-racist changes for Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Mount Sinai Health System . 1yr later that letter is DRIVING the changes at my school. Student activism is gorgeous 💕

Couldn't have done any of it without the support and PRESSURE applied by so many, including you! Activism is gorgeous, but it's even more phenomenal when it is collaborative.

Grateful to the #MedGradWishlist platform that supports the bridge between med school & residency. An important issue that institutions + residency programs should be talking about, especially for #firstgen students who greatly benefit from sponsorship. amazon.com/registries/gl/…

Sixty years ago, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom showed us what's possible when ordinary people come together to push for change. Now it’s up to all of us to protect and build on that progress, and create a better future for generations to come.

Phenomenal talk today by @Ashlea_Danielle on the WHY & the HOW of advancing equity within medicine at WashU EM Residency’s Larry Lewis Symposium. “As long as I know I’m doing right by people, I choose to speak up. I’ve gotten comfortable with making other people uncomfortable.”

6/6 night shifts completed for the week ✅
