a more softer you, in your inconsistent phases. a more kinder you, in your regretful phases. a more patient you, in your low phases. a more loving you, throughout.

We often don’t bring this up when speaking about abortion and pregnancy. A woman is most likely to be murdered during pregnancy than any other time in their life.

Now that the Match Day high is finally starting to wear off and the reality that I’m really moving is setting in, I’d like to repost my #MGWL. Seriously, any contributions to help this OBGYN headed to Detroit is beyond appreciated! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2E…

Globally, we are witnessing the disturbing actions of @kanyewest against @KimKardashian and it is our responsibility to name this abusive behavior. 👏 #KanyeWest

đź§µ I'm terrified thinking about the implications of the #SCOTUS decision for my pregnant patients! I'd like to share some insight from my experience as a high-risk obstetrician with the Justices...

We must continue promoting maternal health for Black women + explore integrated opportunities for preventing and responding to IPV in an effort to address the disparities in maternal health outcomes, IPV rates + the criminalization of Black trauma survivors that seek assistance.

I came to medicine for reasons both practical and sacred. I deserve to be well. My community deserves to be well. Culturally grounded, community responsive care is our human right. #whatwebelieve #RJResolutions

Black folks have been sounding the alarm for years about Michigan. Don't get it twisted that just because it is home to Detroit, a majority-Black city, that racism and bigotry isn't rampant in this state. This has been present and bubbling under the surface for a very long time.

This is the best explanation I've ever seen.
“Police are paid w/taxpayer $$$. If they are not answerable to us, we can demand new service & that’s what this is. #AbolishThePolice in favor of that new service” A nuanced explanation of brand new paint on #BLMPlaza Night before #MarchOnWashington #MOW2020 #DCProtests

The Democrats now have a presidential ticket that reflects the American people better than the GOP ticket and every presidential ticket in US history. It’s not everything. It’s not the crushing of racism + sexism. It’s not the freeing of Black womanhood. But it can be the start.
I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.
