As we read articles and studies, one after another, citing statistics of #HealthDisparities in the #AfricanAmerican population, we must focus on identifying solutions that will change the narrative. #FridayThoughts #BlackDoctors

"People of color have suffered from health care disparities over the whole history of our nation, usually in the form of lack of access or undertreatment." As a black woman who has been a patient and a caregiver, I've experienced this.

A3. I think it is very promising that genomic medicine will allow us to move away from the "one size fits all" treatments to more individualized therapies that are customized for each persons needs. #EquityInGenomics
Question 3: What do you see as the greatest promise of genomic medicine? #EquityInGenomics #GenomicsDisparities #PrecisionMedicine #PersonalizedMedicine
A2. Honestly I'm afraid of people being harmed by genetic testing especially people from vulnerable communities. How can trust truly be built? When you know about how Henrietta Lacks was taken advantage of how can we ensure this won't happen again? #EquityInGenomics
Question 2: What worries you about genomic medicine? For clarity: Genomic Medicine: Personalized treatments targeted to your body's unique genetic profile #EquityInGenomics #GenomicsDisparities
