Since BMJ Global Health doesn't want the world to hear about Global Health's silence during genocide, we will bring it directly to the people. We do not deserve to be called 'Global Health' in the face of genocide. A short thread below 🧵

Honored to be the recipient of this year's 2024 Social Mission Alliance Fitzhugh Mullan Rising Star Award. I am only here because of my family, friends, and mentors. They saw potential in me when I did not always see it in myself. With love.

Still processing our beautiful Grand Opening of our Community Pharmacy/Apothecary in Oakland. A packed house and a beautiful panel of women & non-binary herbalists that represented the African, Latine, Caribbean, Palestinian, Asian diaspora. So powerful to witness this movement.

MSF is horrified that Al-Shifa hospital is in ruins after a 14-day long operation by Israeli forces in and around the facility. Gaza’s largest hospital is now out of service. Given the extent of the destruction, people in the north are left with even fewer healthcare options.

If you’re aware that a group is engaging in a propaganda campaign, you as a journalist have an ethical responsibility not to legitimize it. It is not a secret what’s happening with “DEI.” They’ve used the same playbook with “woke” and “CRT” and yet journalists keep doing this.

MASSIVE news in health disparities research. OMB updated federal standards to 1️⃣ race/ethnicity category adding 1) MENA & 2) Hispanic or Latino.

Big changes ahead in analyzing health data. NHPI have struggled for decades to be recognized, looking forward to seeing the rollout.

I matched into my dream program at Highland Hospital! I’m going to be an emergency medicine doctor serving my hometown of #oakland California!! I’m beyond grateful and honored to hold it down for the town!!!!

Happy #MatchDay2024 see you soon ⁦Stanford Anesthesiology⁩ 🥳

I’m rewriting a #Tweetorial (are those still a thing?) about #evidencebasedmedicine and #racism . This is the history of #hypertension (high blood pressure) treatment, racism and how medical science and research causes harm... kudos to Dr. Vanessa Grubbs (she/her) for encouraging this...

If we truly want to embody a radical politic, we have interrogate the oppressor within ourselves: our inner dialogue & interpersonal relationships. Our ability to achieve justice & peace depends on our willingness to work out these concepts in our own mind, body, & spirit.

Soon, we at Freedom Community Clinic will be opening our inaugural community pharmacy/apothecary and healing farm. We want to embody what it means to create beyond the corrupt healthcare systems, democratize medical knowledge, & reclaim Ancestral medicines. This is all possible.

I’m happy to announce the 6 month results from the SECOND United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) policy surrounding the elimination of Black race to diagnose and manage kidney disease. This policy required all US transplant centers review their waitlists and modify time for qualifying Black individuals.
