#Jobseekers watch out for the scammers. They are using AI to scrape linkedin, use "names" of real people, use Gmail addresses in lieu of company emails, and then try to get you to pay to have your resume and/or cover letter optimized. #careeradvice #careerdevelopment

#Podcast: Conversations with Iris (Ep. 82) - AI, Cancer & Health Equity: Making Technology Work for the Patients Left Behind. We break down where AI helps or harms, why representation + dignity must be designed into cancer care, & #medicalracism. 📺 YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRjw... #podmatch

Off to New Orthopedic Surgeon for assessment of my hip and hamstring. Trying to avoid another surgery at all costs.

What are some challenges navigating career transitions and how to stay correcting them?

Brilliant people. Hard-working institutions. Persistent inequity. The problem is rarely effort. It’s architecture. I launched Architecting Impact — a space on systems thinking, leadership design, and career navigation for high-capacity professionals. tinyurl.com/Architecting...

I am emerging with a pivot. Be on the lookout.

I was just recently interviewed on the Balancing Act #podcast hosted by Andrew Tempte. I discussed the importance of #workforcediversity, increasing STEMM access for diverse kids at early ages, and #healthequity. Check it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4KO... #STEMcareers #PatientAdvocacy

Attended a networking and Gabe night called If the Vibe is Right by Meserole station. Quote entertaining and good networking.

New podcast convo on People Fuss #podcast: “Medical AI, Bias, and the Cost of Being Black in Healthcare.” We talked #AIinHealthcare, #medicalbias, #healthliteracy, &why equity must include dignity and trust. Find Patient resources and infographics: SCHEQ.org #podmatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7yX...

I recently joined Sam on You, Me, & a #Podcast to to discuss my career, navigating #racism, #medicalbias, #inspiration, and my work helping underserved communities through @scheq.org. Check it out. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Caregiving does not always start in adulthood. Sometimes it starts when you are still a child. I shared my story on the Sharegiving Secret #podcast. Caregivers are not invisible, and their stories are not small. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS86... #caregiving #HealthEquity #PatientAdvocacy

I joined Karen Jagoda on the Empowered Patient #Podcast to talk about health equity, lung cancer, and why workforce diversity matters upstream of patient outcomes. Equity requires intentional design, not assumptions. 🎧 Listen: empoweredpatientradio.com/addressing-h... #AI #workforcediversity

External mentors provide perspective and protection. No one should be trapped in one system.

Equity doesn’t fail from lack of ideas. It fails from lack of runway. Scale requires infrastructure, not just pilots.

I joined The Jali #Podcast (Episode 181) for a real conversation about equity beyond intentions. We talked about representation in research, patient advocacy, and what accountability actually looks like when systems fail people. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6nm...

Community engagement ≠ community extraction. Ask one question: who benefits when the project ends?

New #podcast convo w/ Danise Sugita (Voices That Propel Us): “From STEMM Access to Health Equity.” Health equity shows up at the bedside + in the chart. 🎧https://tinyurl.com/DSugitaManley You can find her series here: tinyurl.com/DSugitaVoices #podmatch #advocacy #healthcare

Mentorship is important, but it cannot substitute for structure. Workforce equity requires systems that hold up even when individual champions move on. Would your pathway still work tomorrow? #mentorship

I joined Life & In-Between #podcast with Diana & Patrick for “When the System Doesn’t See You.” Opus Clips scored every segment 80–99 (never seen that before). We talked patient advocacy, medical mistrust, & AI in healthcare. 🎧 tinyurl.com/LAIBManley #podmatch #PatientAdvocacy #CancerCare

Some systems stay complicated because complexity protects someone’s convenience. If a system can’t work for someone with limited time, transport, internet, and margin for error, it’s not a system. It’s a test.

Paeto hosted me on the Bioinventors #Podcast: Cancer, Bias, and the Cost of Being Underserved. We explored how #stigma, inequities in #screening, and lack of representation in #STEMM and medicine shape outcomes, and what we can do about it. #podmatch 🎧 bioinventors.buzzsprout.com/2315496/18450033

Equity programs fail when they’re designed to look good, not hold up. Red flags: assuming time/transport/internet, measuring attendance not change, “community input” without shared power, no navigation plan. Equity is design.

“Noncompliance” is often system failure. If the plan isn’t understandable or realistic, outcomes won’t follow. Communication is an intervention.

Trial diversity is a design issue. If participation requires time off work, transport, childcare, and confusing paperwork, trials become selectively accessible. Design for participation, not convenience.

I was featured on The Elisha Show #podcast in an episode titled Health Equity in Action. We talked medical racism, patient advocacy, STEM access, and why diversifying the STEMM workforce is essential to improving cancer outcomes. Health equity is not optional. 🎧 tinyurl.com/TESMANLEY #podmatch

Complexity is not neutral. In healthcare and leadership, complexity becomes a burden, and it falls unevenly. Good leaders reduce unnecessary complexity for the people with the least room to absorb it.

Many STEM “pipeline” leaks are economic. Unpaid internships and hidden costs are filters. If a pathway requires unpaid labor, it selects for privilege. Design pathways that are financially real.

Science translation is not only about simpler words. It’s about whether people can act on the info given real barriers: time, transport, internet, trust, and confusing workflows. Where does translation break down most for you?

Joined Everything’s Not Black and White #podcast to talk about humanizing the healthcare system. We discussed medical racism, patient advocacy, and why equity must be measurable. If systems aren’t accountable, patients pay the price. 🎧https://tinyurl.com/ENBWManley #PatientAdvocacy #SystemsChange

Patient navigation is infrastructure, not an add on. Without it: missed appointments, delayed diagnoses, treatment delays, burnout, loss of trust. What barrier do you see most?

Representation matters, but representation is not power. If your diversity efforts stop at panels and photos, you are performing diversity, not building it.

First gen scholars get hit hardest by the hidden curriculum. Mentors: do not only ask “How are you doing?” Ask “Do you know what is coming next and do you have what you need to be ready?” Clarity changes careers.

New Year reflection: titles do not build systems. People do. @scheq.org exists because awareness without tools is not equity. In 2026 I’m building infrastructure that holds up.

Myth: education protects you in healthcare. Reality: it can help you ask questions, but it does not erase bias or fix broken systems. Systems matter.

Cancer breakthroughs are real, but breakthroughs do not deliver themselves. Access barriers decide who benefits: insurance, referrals, transportation, time off work, language, trust, digital divide. For who?

Awareness alone is not equity. Awareness without navigation and support can widen disparities. People with resources can act immediately. Everyone else is left holding info they cannot use.

#Healthcare is not just the appointment. It is also getting there. I wrote a practical guide on Medical Answering Service (MAS) and how #NYC #Medicaid transportation is supposed to work. tinyurl.com/SCHEQMAS Transportation is healthcare. Access is health equity.

I was recently on the Entrepreneurship 101 #podcast by Daniel Lucas. This episode looks at how an one’s beliefs, habits of thought, emotional discipline, and self-awareness directly influences #leadership behavior, #risktolerance, and strategic judgment. Check it on apple. tinyurl.com/Ent101EMJ

I was just recently interviewed on Lily Patrusca's HEAL Podcast about treatments to heal lung cancer. We covered biomarkers, alcohol, comorbidities, exercise, and other topics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmH0...

🎙️ Just wrapped a fantastic conversation with Daniel Lucas. We dive deep into AI's impact on healthcare. The conversation took some fascinating turns, especially when we explored: "How AI algorithms might miss diverse populations, affecting early disease detection." The full episode, coming soon!

It was a pleasure to be on the Unveiling Journeys Podcast by Tiffany Alexander. Episode 101 was "Closing the Gap in Cancer Care: Equity, STEM & Data That Saves Lives". We discussed: ✅ Academia and Career navigation ✅ Health disparities ✅ The work at @scheq.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fp8...

Dr. Barned gave her lung cancer patient story at #NLCRT2025 this morning.

Dr. Kathuria at #NLCRT2025 showed some studies that suggest that offering tobacco cessation regardless of patient intent, leads to decreased utilization. Also touched on disparities in cessation, increased risk of lung cancer with tobacco +Vaping or tobacco + cannabis.

Dr. Wentworth gave an overview of #survivorship and a program/ workflow that she developed for patients. #NLCRT2025.

Natalie Brown kicked off #NLCRT2025 for her patient advocate story. She talked about the Northwestern transplant program and her diagnosis.
