We don't talk nearly enough about uterine fibroids, which affect millions of women across the US. So today, I'm introducing legislation to fund uterine fibroid research and education so women get the information and care they need. refinery29.com/en-us/2020/07…

On July 9, a few years ago, a speech about fighting oppression got out of control. The protest organizer wanted it to be nonviolent but protesters started destroying property and attacking law enforcement officers. A (relatively short) thread:

I hate the fact it’s so easy to turn on the television and watch a Black man getting murdered. Are you all not tired of this? Why does the media take part in showing this to the masses?

So much of history has been whitewashed for the sake of making it palatable for white consumption that we are starting to perpetuate things that are not only misconceptions, but outright lies. A lot of what you're told about protests, MLK, etc. is wrong. A thread.

I drew a comic abt a traumatic experience in my childhood and being black in America. Not necessarily medical. Still cathartic. Back to standard programming after this. #blm #BlackLivesMatter #comic #graphicmedicine #drawingwhileblack

Don’t love me for what I do. Love me for who I am. We are BLACK WOMEN. We build... We don’t tear down other BLACK WOMEN. We have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided we will be deliberate about… instagram.com/p/CBG1SVWBqVe/…

The number of physicians I see on Twitter absolving themselves from change and action by saying “my anti-racist act is taking excellent care of each of my patients” is alarming and points to a major part of the problem. A thread..

Unless there are actionable steps taken by medical and public health schools, these statements of support are just empty. If you were really about it, you'd include teachings of racism into your core curriculums. You'd make sure that every student who graduated from

Now this is how to be an ally! Fighting racism has to be on our agenda as physicians! #BlackMedTwitter
#WhiteCoatsForBlackLives I’m so grateful to every single person who joined today. We came together from medical school, anesthesiology, OB/GYN, urology, family medicine, and internal medicine to remember #GeorgeFloyd. It’s time to break the culture of silence. #MedTwitter

We’re very good in this country at telling other people how to behave and act — but we still discriminate on the basis of the color of skin. That is the simple, painful truth.
