A new prostate cancer PSA for Black men, featuring James Pickens, Jr., aka Grey’s Anatomy’s Dr. Richard Webber. Shoutout to Shonda Rimes!

it might sound silly, but what I love about the graphic in this post is that it accurately depicts the right-handed twist of dsDNA as well as the major and minor grooves when it comes to something so fundamental and so important, it's urgent and necessary to get the details right no room for slop

Hey yall, thank you so much for donating so far!!! I am asking if you can please continue to share and donate. I’ve made it to 42% and I’m so grateful for the progress! A reminder, this will help me get my dad’s remains, get caught up on rent and help maintain utilities. Thank you 💙

🗣️VIRGINIA!!! A positive TB case has been confirmed within Rockingham County Schools. This case was active in the past and is *not* actively spreading. BUT they are still doing contact tracing to see if anyone has a latent infection (which means they have TB in their bodies but it’s basically sleep)

T1D doll here. Thank you for sharing the information. To this day there are so many misconceptions about diabetes(all types).

Therapy, state specific assistance with gathering records and finding biological family, assistance w/ navigating genetic testing for health, support groups, and a section with adoptees sharing their stories. Nobody thinks of us. So I will. 🥚 (3/3)

There is an entire section being built within @genehouse.co specifically for adoptees. The first question we ask is whether somebody is adopted or not. And if they are, they enter a whole different section of the app catered to US. 🥚 (2/3)

Week 2 brings us something sweet. Today we discuss sugar, diabetes and how the two are related. Do you know anyone in your family who has diabetes or “sugar?” Thank you for watching!! Follow us for your weekly dose of Black health education! And remember, teamwork makes the gene work!

Great explainer on the difference between Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes.

This is a cute way to explain it in everyday terms

Hey yall! I asked this when we were on Twitter but: What are some household names y'all know for illnesses? For example, folks refer to diabetes as "sugar". If you answer, pls clarify what the nicknames are for. And your location. Got something in the works with @genehouseco.bsky.social 💙💚

My Alma Mater published an article *about me*. And I’m VERY proud! I’ll post the link and say more later but here are two excerpts:

Storytelling is a huge aspect of the Black community. At GeneHouse, we use narrative medicine techniques to bring a voice to our family health history narratives. With the trust of the community, we hope to implement precision health and literally save lives. Join us on this journey! 💚💙 (5/5)

Along with the clinical recommendations, users will also have access to content that focuses on Black health and Black families. Things like teaching family members to associate hearing “I have sugar” with a diabetes diagnosis. Or “bad nerves” with anxiety. Or preventative care guidelines. (3/5)

Users can record/write their family health history and our team of genetic counselors will provide a risk assessment and recommendations for clinical care. We will also be insurance eligible and have options for ppl without insurance. (2/5)
