Sharing my essay featured in the Dec 2025 issue of @acadmedjournal.bsky.social Written for my mom & her physician, Dr. P Hazangwe, it felt too raw to share in August when it went live online. But choosing to be brave! Quoting my fav, “raise your 🥂 to freedom, something they can never take away…”

Y'all know I love that horse lady! My last piece was about her and yes, this one circled back too. The muse is the muse. I just follow where she points. Inspired by a history that refuses to stay silent. Link to my Substack in bio👆🏾

'The weight of the evidence has tipped heavily in favor of HPV vaccination" @hildabast.bsky.social but we now need to deal with growing vaccine hesistancy! absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/11/24/t...

Gilead’s trial participants outside the U.S. deserve more than to be studied. They deserve access to the drugs they helped make possible! In my first @statnews.com piece, I call for global equity regarding lenacapavir. Thanks @thekibosch.bsky.social for holding my story with care 🫶🏾 #IDSky

I feel like I’m part of some bizarre experiment—because there’s no way this is real 🤔

I’ll never forgive y’all for not voting for that lady. Now I can’t even listen to Lemonade without mourning what could have been 😭

The largest private employer in Baltimore just lost $800 million in federal contracts and grants. This recession is going to be a doozy.

The global fund will roll out twice yearly Lenacapavir for prevention of HIV with or without #PEPFAR. Now the US contributes 30% of the global fund donations which is likely to disappear. Still important the fund is not backing away from this commitment 👏🏼. bhekisisa.org/health-news-...
