Honored to contribute to this issue of Glaucoma Today!
Health disparities are driven by social and economic inequities, including economic stability, food, education, and the #healthcare system itself, and they affect the health and well-being of our patients with #glaucoma. https://t.co/2rSuqRSdSv

I hope ya understand these institutions thrive on us being in a constant state of survival. You can’t effectively advocate for your needs when you’re in a trauma response

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.

The STAT news piece that details disproportionate dismissal of Black residents and @DrMitoOxPhos article about being a Black scientist both hit close to home. My @AcadMedJournal piece on my experience in academia is just as true now as when I wrote it. 😞 https://t.co/oPhdOFubXN

This is a great article that highlights a lot of the discrimination and hostile work practices that many Black residents face. I’ll summarize some of the most salient points in a quick thread. https://t.co/etqa1YQvMm
