    My Grandma passed away today. A while back, we drove past a mansion she used to clean in Naples, FL: “I remember cleaning toilets for a doctor that lived there,” she said. Then w/a smirk, she finished: “But my son’s a doctor now.” Rest now Grandma, from your Dream Come True.

    Y’all: A FAMILY DROVE SIX HOURS (!) to see me in clinic. They waited WEEKS for an appointment. Why? They wanted a 2nd opinion… from a Black Pediatric Nephrologist. “We searched for you, Dr Ray.” I’ve never been more honored. #RepresentationMatters #BlackMenInMedicine

    CORY BOOKER LET Y’ALL IN ON A SECRET: For many Black folks in so-called “elite” jobs/organizations, it’s SERVICE STAFF who keep us motivated… encouraged… uplifted. “I see you, doc!” “Keep it up, young man!” “How’s it going my brother?” We treasure this kinship!

    Lots of hoops to jump through and limitations on where he can go, but having a dad who wants to know what his son does and is proud of me is the greatest gift I could ask for! #MerryChristmas
