I’m the product of TWO EDUCATED BLACK WOMEN ✨.Mom & [step] mom who raised me. Med school was hard, but nothing compares to the trauma of loosing both moms to breast cancer. This MD degree is for them! Their legacies will carry on through me as I fight racial health disparities.

Like wha… I absolutely don’t wanna talk about your medical problems in the middle of brunch. Nor do I want to use that part of my brain. nor am I getting compensated & my malpractice doesn’t cover free medical advice while I’m having drinks ??.

I tweeted this at one of my lowest points in residency—drowning in life and angry at my health challenges. BUT GOD. Now I’ve been in remission for a year… and I’m officially an attending with joy. 🥹🫶🏾.

I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive medicine for all the sacrifices it has required of me.

Who knew finding a job after residency where I get PAID to teach health equity would be this difficult 🥲.
