"Have the courage to be self-compassionate" @WestM61
Think about that for a moment.
The courage to be self-compassionate.

This echoes what we found listening to the stories of Black mothers from the previous generation - issues are entrenched, deep change and partnership is needed! @maxinevchapman @darko_nat @DrRuw @BharathyKumar17

What a way to start my visit to @QualityForum #Quality2024
"This house believes that patient safety should pursue a zero avoidable harm approach"
I know what I believe, do you?

Lightbulb 💡 moment for me when I heard @lregan7 use the phrase "easy to ignore".
The accountability is on us.

We need to stop saying “hard to reach” patients
Many patients are disadvantaged by OUR approach, design & biases in healthcare
This is why it’s so important to have a diverse workforce and co-design with patients
Maybe the problem is us in healthcare- not them

As true today as it was last #IWD #IWD2024 #embraceequity
My revolution does not need approval or permission
It happens because it has to happen
My revolution will not be choreographed although it begins with a few familiar steps
It's not naïve but believes...

#InternationalWomensDay2023
I return to this:
"My revolution begins in the body
It isn’t waiting anymore
My revolution does not need approval or permission
It happens because it has to happen"
Those of you who can, speak up! Those who can't, we're here.
