Barack and I believe that everyone has a story worth telling—and Descendant is a story that demands to be told. This film chronicles when the last known ship from Africa, the Clotilda, arrived with enslaved Africans to the United States. I hope you'll watch Descendant on Netflix.

This should not be a necessary part of childhood.

Pediatricians are being told (warned) to stay in our own lane and not weigh in on the toll of gun violence on children. If preventable death isn’t “our lane,” I’d like to know what is. Child advocacy is as integral as otitis treatment to the practice of pediatrics.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
