Pep talk time. For some of us this is incredibly new. For others, painfully familiar. Because we the people have been here before. Pushing back against government, systems, and even each other. Open a history book. Look at whose shoulders we have been standing on. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion

I’m retired CDC. I loved working there. It was an honor. Our duty is to the country-to the people. To seek the health of the people. Information & data must be shared.

Just because your degree isn’t from a research university doesn’t make it or you less valuable. Live your destiny. Do your work. The world needs it. We’re waiting for it. 🙏🏾

I’m watching the Carter funeral and crying, grieving not just for his loss but I also grieve for my country. I’m realizing how much I miss having something to be proud of.

Although retired I am still public health. Still here to prevent, promote, & protect. This is the lens I see through.

It's #BreastCancerAwareness month. In 2022, I found a lump, which led to a mammogram. The lump was nothing, but during the screening, another cancer was found deep inside the breast. I underwent a lumpectomy & radiation. A mammogram could save your life. It saved mine. 🎗️

We can’t be a healthy nation if the problems that beset it aren’t addressed: inequity & racism.

Origin/ Caste Loved the movie #Origin. Good translation of #Caste by #IsabelWilkerson. Appreciated how it showed the writer/ social scientist thought process. The part in #India about the #Dalits was very touching. “They have nothing to protect themselves but their prayers…”

#Climatechange Just wondering …Is it the earth that needs us or is it we #humanbeings who need the #Earth? If other species can go extinct because of climate change, can we also become #extinct? Can we survive without the Earth? Can the Earth survive without us?
