People think health equity is only about race, or gender identity… but one of the most common health inequities is disability. Indiscriminate attacks on “DEI” mean you’re hurting 1/4 in our population- including many YOU know and love. 🤷🏽‍♂️
Amanda Hu@amandalhu8 Dec 2024
Though it doesn’t matter how many people are disabled for disability justice to matter, this is a good reminder that, when 1 in 4 people are disabled, this is not a niche issue. Every family, community and workplace is impacted by disability

Admitting uncertainty doesn't signal that you lack expertise. It shows that you see complexity. 12 experiments: we're more likely to follow advice that sounds like a weather forecast. We don't blindly trust those who claim to know. We trust those who know what they don't know.
