Sherréa Jones, PhD

I’ve made the decision to no longer tweet from this account. My personal experiences as a former medical student have reshaped my views on life and the truth and reality about medical education and the field of medicine, altogether. Thanks for the ride🫶🏽

The late night Q&A that @Giannis_An34 had w/ fans is the reason MKE loves and treasures him. We arent the biggest city w/ the brightest lights, but the love and community that’s been built during his time w/ the @Bucks is something I think many fear will dissipate in his absence

An MD can explain WHAT is happening, a PhD can explain the reason WHY

As a parent, it is your responsibility to recognize how you are passing down generational trauma. The difficult necessity comes in doing the work to correct your behavior(s). The comfort dwells in punishing your child(den) for perpetuating what you have taught them

Some of most influential and helpful people of my academic plight and career pursuit have been White men. This truth exists in parallel with the truth that I’ve also experienced racism. Racism is a character flaw not trademark of an entire race

Fearlessness releases you from the shackles of cowardice just as truth will free you from toxicity. The key is being able to realize you are a prisoner

Depression, isolation, loss of interest in things you used to do is the “cocoon” phase of transformation. The traumatized person who you had to become to survive is dying. Waking up everyday and choosing to confront the pain is the only way to release the butterfly

If you find more joy, peace and fulfillment in your hobby than you find in your career, perhaps that is your intuition telling you your hobby is your purpose and your career is a distraction

The pain that a person inflicts on other people is the same pain they are suffering from, but too afraid to confront in their own life

The best thing that has happened to me, as a Black woman, was losing everything in my life twice. This taught me that, no matter how dire the circumstance, I can recover, rebuild and win again. Alchemy isn’t racist.

Personal transformation requires mourning the loss of an identity you emotionally attached yourself to that either no longer exists or was never meant to exist at all

15/The heaviness that comes with grief and acceptance is sometimes too heavy. That process didn’t break me, but the process is broken. The psychological torture that accompanies an MD is real.
