The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Excited to share that the 2nd edition of my first book, Nighttime Breastfeeding: An American Cultural Dilemma, has been published with a new introduction & postscript. 🎉Anthropology provides unique insight into why negotiating breastfeeding & sleep remains a key concern in the US. bit.ly/4gBrE12

Happy New Year 🎊

Twas the night before clinic and all though the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. Though there isn’t a peep, I still cannot sleep and pray in the morning I’ll sprout.

Part of grieving (for me) is anger. Followed by guilt. None of us make it out of here alive but who said it was okay for YOU to up and leave us? Leave me? Sis. WTH? Daddy. You said I’d be okay. I am not. Mom. I will never get over this. Miss B. This is too much. Then I feel bad for being angry. 💔🙏🏾🕊️

I went to dap my son up after his basketball game and he scrunched up his face and said, “What’s this?” He gave me a big hug and kissed me on the cheek 🥹

I’ve been a #RHOSLC day 1 and no idea that Merideth had a daughter. A whole 22-year-old. Is it just me?

I guessed lectured today in the Public Health school at my university on intersectionality and reproductive justice. I absolutely love undergraduate students! The curiosity and engagement was incredible.

While this infographic in @jama.com is useful for patients, it's a disgrace that healthcare costs & drug pricing in the US are so high that this is even necessary. This doesn't even factor in prior authorizations. Health access is a basic human right. This includes access to meds. #MedSky

Every academic right now

Women may be less inclined to disclose pregnancy or last menses out of fear. This poses a risk to prescribing. I say, “This information is confidential and will not be shared. Some drugs are not safe to use during pregnancy therefore pregnancy must be ruled out for safe prescribing.” 1/2

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.
