- Black children don’t need any more “tough love”.
- Twitter fam: I was just accepted into Yale PhD program!!!! I will pursue my PhD as I complete my residency! Best part: my research is on identifying and mitigating the effects of racism on Black girls ❤️ I will use the racism I’ve experienced as fuel to help
GIF - The percentage of Black doctors has not changed in 120 years. Let that marinate. Still reeling.
- Thank you @USATODAY for the accurate title, which is more than I can say for other news articles describing her as “complaining”. Words matter. Hurting for her family who will not be able to share the holidays with her ever again.
- Life of a Black resident: torn about whether I should consult on a racist patient after looking at his chart and seeing he calls staff the N word. Is this really helpful to my learning? Is this trauma even recognized? Black residents deserve protection.
- For years, I was brainwashed by white supremacy that braids & twists weren’t formal enough. “Looking nice” meant straightening my hair. Glad I woke up. Black women, our hair is BEAUTIFUL. #dressedup #formalball ✌🏽
- As a Black woman, I am very hesitant to join women’s movements or initiatives. In honor of #InternationalWomensDay2022 and #WomensHistoryMonth, I’ll tell you why. Let me tell you a story…(1/?)
- I GOT PUBLISHED IN @NEJM y’all! “As a resident, I have seen racist behavior in every clinical rotation. Sometimes I just want to focus on psychopharmacology, but racism calls me and I must answer.”
- “Microaggressions”, “veiled aggressions”, and “implicit bias” are placating terms and aggressor-centered. It’s racism. And it’s a macro experience.
- If you’re worried that teaching about racism in schools will make white children feel badly, just IMAGINE how Black children feel experiencing racism daily. Are you worried about them too? 🤔
- Can we talk about healthcare provider burnout due to medical racism or y’all ain’t ready yet?
- “Oppositional defiant disorder” is a racist and lazy diagnosis for children who are struggling. Fight me 🤗
- Replying to @AmandaJoyMDSo, if you are going to be pro-woman and celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth #InternationalWomensDay2022 , you should DEFINITELY be anti-racist and anti-racial hierarchy. Because, Black women are women, too, ya know 🙃. (14/14). #upliftallwomen
