editors who invited me to share my words beyond this space, & everyone who engaged with & reshared my work. I’ll be grateful forever. Your support made me the doctor/advocate I am today.
Im bad at goodbyes; I hate the end of an era when it meant so much to me, but it’s time.

I’ll keep my profile up for the time being so I can save all the work I shared & y’all can know where to find me.
I hope this is not goodbye, just see you elsewhere!
In gratitude,

Seeing a lot of white folks' reflections this week. I understand feeling upset or sad, but shocked? surprised?!?!
It feels like White people are reminded rac*sm exists every 4 yrs: 2016, 2020 (pandemic/George Floyd), & now.
I am trying to imagine what that must feel like.

When I walk out of a store, when I see a cop car, when I walk around my neighborhood, when strangers make random comments, when I go to a doctor's appointment, when I wonder how any decision I make will be perceived at work...It's constant.
What a privilege to be able to forget.

I just know one of the only ways forward will require everyone, not just those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to never forget that rac*sm is what America is about and what it was founded on.
White folks can't keep re-learning that just because they don't live it's impact

8 yrs ago, I was a resident in Seattle working in the ER on Election Night. In between patients, I was refreshing voting maps. After the election was called for Tr*mp, I had to mask my fear & dismay to keep seeing patients. Today feels like that but worse; we know what's coming.

2) Over 50% of Black people live in the South. Despite overwhelmingly voting for their safety, their rights are under attack. Black youth, like ALL youth, deserve accurate information about their bodies and access to comprehensive reproductive health care. We can't give up.

I will continue my advocacy locally and nationally to help the adolescents who need it the most and combat all of the forces making information and access harder to reach.
So, yes, today is a day to grieve, but the work still continues. It has to.

This is hard. Not hard to believe, but hard to live through. When racism and sexism continually win, it really makes me question if anything I'm fighting for is even possible.
Today, I will mourn. The question is will I have fight left for tomorrow.

Marc Lamont Hill got shouted down on one of those podcasts for saying something that I haven't stopped thinking about. People vote for Trump because they want to be him. They see his power, his money and his ability to get away with EVERYTHING and they want that for themselves.

Public health experts deemed abstinence only sex ed a violation of adolescents’ human rights bc it withholds critical health info, leaves them unprepared, undermines public health & is harmful to LGBTQ young people & survivors of SA.
Purity culture does all of the same things.
