Thankful to #HuffPost for publishing my essay and am hopeful to add to the national conversation we are having about race. #BlackLivesMatter #allyship #ally #McstuffinMommies #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5….

“This is not who we are, America” just doesn’t ring true to me.
My father was assassinated in this nation, gunned down on a motel balcony in Memphis, where he was engaged as a nonviolent warrior for nondiscriminatory, humane wages.
He was killed for working to end racism, poverty, and militarism, which he called the Triple Evils, and which are all still perpetuated both in policy and practice by the United States of America.
This is not who we should be.
With that honest statement about our culture of violence, political and otherwise, we can rise up to eradicate injustice and violence, and reform our rhetoric.

Most Democrats and independents say they are more concerned about a president who does not tell the truth versus one who might be too old to serve, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll. Republicans were divided over which trait they found more problematic. (1/3)
When trump said babies were being killed after birth, he was taking responsibility for his decisions to put children in cages, tell people to drink bleach, and do nothing to take assault rifles off the street.

Women like Kaitlyn across our country have faced chaos, confusion, and fear under extreme abortion bans that have ripped away our freedoms. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Donald Trump is responsible for this crisis.
Thank you to @akasorority1908 for inviting me to be on a panel of such distinguished speakers, including our NC state senators and representatives.

If grown me could speak to little me, I would tell her, “You are exactly where you are supposed to be and Brown is lucky to have YOU.” To all the future doctors who may be doubting their place, Medicine is lucky to have YOU!” #50yearsofmedicineatBrown @BrownMedicine @BrownOdma

I’m so confused by this attempt to redefine what abortion is. And these are the people ruling supreme over the lives of women and prepubescent girls alike.

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.
