Itโs another notable day in #Insulin100 celebrations and another day to remember To push for #equitable #access. Itโs been a hundred years, why is #Insulin4all not the standard of care in America and internationally?

So well said, @RheaBoydMD! Love your hoops, sis!
This was my first time on national tv. I was nervous so I put on my prettiest hoops and twisted my hair and spoke to @AlexWitt about why labeling folks of color "vaccine hesitant" dismisses our legitimate concerns and detracts from efforts to address access. #BlackWomeninMedicine

We lost another doctor today To COVID But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her... She called the patient advocate... She called the chief medical officer...

Trump spent a lot of time on that Supreme Court for them to turn on him like that. He should fire them all.

The media is referring to last nightโs VP debate as โcivilizedโ, a term rooted in colonizer ideology. Even though there was no yelling or bullying, Pence lied, evaded. gaslighted and interrupted throughout the entire debate. His behavior was violent towards Harris in its own way.
