HBCU's produce: - 50% of Black doctors and Black attorneys - 80% of Black Judges - 40% of Black Engineers and Black members of Congress Also HBCUs are not exclusive. 25% of all graduates are not Black. Happy Homecoming

Powerful quote. Change agents.
It hits different to actually hold a copy in your own two hands of @TheLancet with a quote from your article printed on the cover. I’m just saying.🥹

I have value, I am extremely competent with a unique passion for improving patient/medical education, and I am an asset. Respect me as such. #MedTwitter

I have to constantly reaffirm myself as a black man in Neonatology. This is, of course, balanced with the ability to receive and implement feedback, continuing to be a life-long learner.

Long ago, I realized that longing for words of affirmation in medical training can lead to a negatively skewed view of self. This often is perpetuated by the very people who should be fostering a psychologically safe training environment.

When your points are very valid and backed by facts.. they focus on “your tone and delivery”

This is for that girl in high school who said I “took her spot” at Emory when I decided to go to Morehouse undergrad. I WAS A BETTER APPLICANT! Affirmative action made it so they don’t OVERLOOK my application because I am black. Stop pretending like y’all don’t know that.

If you are celebrating the dismantling of affirmative action, get over yourself…you STILL won’t or wouldn’t have gotten in. Affirmative action was NOT the reason you didn’t get in 😂

“No is a complete sentence.” I wish we were respected enough as trainees (who are ADULTS) for this statement to be true. #MedTwitter

Medicine is so unkind to us. I consider myself an optimistic person readily searching for solutions, but how much more can we take?

It’s a wonder that we as black people continue to live and thrive in this country. We really are second-class citizens in their eyes. It’s wild.
