Happy International Women’s Day! "We still ask women to work like they don't have kids and parent like they don't work. It's well past time to change all that." – Amy Westervelt #AccelerateAction Real change, not just words. Keep pushing forward. #CloseTheGap #MotherhoodPenalty #EqualPayNow

Watching a child #play is a reminder that #movement is #joy, not just obligation. The way they #run, #dance, and #laugh so freely is a lesson in ease and #freedom. Choose to move with that same joy. #MoveWithJoy #EmbodiedFreedom #BlackGirlSabbatical #PlayHeals

The cost of overwork is not the same for everyone. #Black #physicians face the highest #mortality #disparity in #healthcare, 2x that of White peers. 👉🏾https://shorturl.at/oFgKA Rest is not a luxury. Joy is not optional. Our well-being must matter. #BlackGirlSabbatical #RestIsResistance

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Desmond Tutu Hope is the whisper that keeps us moving, faith is the strength that carries us through. Hold on to both. #KeepTheFaith #HopeInAction #BelieveAndRise #StrengthWithin #ForwardWithHope

You should be angry. You must not be bitter… So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it. – Maya Angelou #ChannelYourFire #StayResilient #Resistance #PowerInAction #RaiseYourVoice

Challenges may surround us, but our #mindset is our power. Staying hopeful, focused, and resilient is an act of resistance. #MindsetMatters #StayEmpowered #HopeInAction #ResistDespair #PowerInPositivity

Anger, used, does not destroy. Hatred does. —Audre Lorde Anger can be a catalyst for change, but hatred only consumes. Channel your fire into action, not destruction. #AudreLorde #RighteousAnger #FuelForChange #JusticeAndJoy #PowerInPurpose

Yesterday marked the International Day of Women and Girls in Science—a reminder that full and equal participation in #STEM is still a work in progress. Women remain underrepresented in #science and #medicine, limiting #innovation and #equitable #care. #WomenInScience #DEIMatters #WomenInMedicine

#Blackjoy is power. Black #freedom is non-negotiable. I refuse to shrink, and I’m raising my daughter to take up space, move boldly, and exist without apology. We deserve spaces where our light isn’t dimmed, where we can be our fullest, most joyful selves. #blackityblack #LiveFree #raisingherbold

The present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. I refuse to let my joy be interrupted. Peace is my priority, and I will protect it fiercely. #ProtectYourJoy #BePresent #PeaceIsPower #likeamother #motherhood

Today, we honor The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats—the first children’s book with an African American protagonist to win the Caldecott Medal.

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about. Our collective grief is not just sorrow—it’s a call to action. In mourning, we find strength. In unity, we find the path forward. #CollectiveGrief #HealingTogether #PowerInGrief #GriefAndResistance

As a #Black #woman, duty often comes before desire. But our #ancestors fought for more than survival—they fought for #joy, #rest, and #freedom too. This #BlackHistoryMonth, I #honor their #legacy by choosing myself unapologetically. #RadicalSelfCare #RestIsResistance @becauseofthem.bsky.social

Direct Primary Care (DPC) cuts out insurance for affordable, direct access to physicians. As policies shift, will #DPC gain traction? Patients and doctors call it a game-changer. #HealthcareReform #DirectPrimaryCare #PatientFirst shorturl.at/C6hXX

I am the descendant of revolutionaries. My bloodline carries the strength of #Haiti, the 1st Black republic to claim independence in 1804. To navigate the present, I honor the past. Their resilience flows through me, guiding my path today. #BlackHistoryMonth #PastInformsThePresent #LegacyStrength

Subpar care @NorthwellHealth. Lack of interpreter for one and dismissal of another when asking for help with computer device at check in. BTW both happen to be immigrants. We need to ensure high-quality equitable care for patients with limited English proficiency.
