Can’t replace everything. Bring back the buttons too.☎️ #VerizonOutage #creditmybill
AMIA has been my home for decades, but I can’t stay when the words that matter are replaced exactly when they matter most.
My advocacy is always built on three principles:
• Protect Dreams
• Clear the Path
• Foster Belonging
Words like 'equity' and 'inclusion' are important; they are powerful, just like me.
When I defended my dissertation at Columbia, I became the first Black woman in the U.S., and the first from Columbia, to earn a PhD in biomedical informatics. These milestones also revealed who was absent from the rooms shaping our field.
I was asked to establish and lead this committee a few years ago. Our efforts earned the AMIA 2021 Leadership Award for my leadership of the DEI Committee. We published AMIA’s Inclusive Language Guidelines (JAMIA, 2025) and "The Journey to Building a DEI at AMIA" (JAMIA, 2025).
Today, AMIA announced it is renaming its DEI Committee to the Empowerment, Engagement & Representation Committee. A move, I believe, to reduce vulnerability in today’s anti-DEI climate.
“It will be power infused with love and justice, that will change dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows, and lift us from the fatigue of despair to the buoyancy of hope.” Martin Luther King Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

There are TWO election ballots for @AMIAinformatics: 9/26-10/14 for Pres-elect and 10/15-11/4 for Directors. Thought my ballot was messed up! 😩 I worry that members might miss their voting opportunity. Thoughts? Election year change...? 🤔 #AMIA2024 #VoteInformaticsTwice
