Your worth shouldn't be measured by others' opinions. Focus on loving and accepting yourself because that's where true fulfillment lies. #SelfLove #BeYou #Diversity #DiversityandInclusion

From physicians breaking glass ceilings to executives championing change, every woman in healthcare leadership deserves to be seen, heard, and respected. Let's create a culture of recognition where achievements are acknowledged, voices are amplified, and talents are valued.

It is emotionally taxing to have to champion for equity of treatments amongst providers, policy makers, & healthcare agencies who know the same exact data regarding existing racial health disparities that I do. Constantly having to ask others to value our lives is depressing.

In 1988, the federal government banned metal-tipped lawn darts because a single child died from one.

For an upbeat perspective, in 8 just days: 1. Very high efficacy for 2 vaccines (they could have been a bust) 2. The 1st EUA of a rapid home virus test (not ideal, but it's a start) 3. New evidence for a durable immune response, >8 months (? years), better than many expected.
