That drink you ordered could have 3 days of added sugar. SB 869 requires chain restaurants to label high-sugar drinks—no bans, just transparency so people can make informed choices. What you drink matters. #PublicHealth #AddedSugar #SB869 #HealthEquity

When our democracy faces threats and our community's health hangs in the balance, we must take a stand. Prop 50 may not be perfect, but these aren't normal times. Your voice matters - especially now. ⚡️ #HealthAndDemocracy
Trust is the bridge between diagnosis and healing. When patients see themselves in their doctors, outcomes improve. Representation in medicine isn’t optional — it’s lifesaving. My conversation with Dr. Kelly O. Elmore explains why. #HealthEquity #RepresentationMatters https://youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c
When I was elected to the Assembly, there were only five Black OB-GYNs in San Diego County. I was one of them. Black women face maternal mortality rates nearly 3x higher than white women. Being heard can save lives. Watch the full conversation here: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
The government demanded all California health records - every Social Security number, every private detail. Her answer? No. In Part 2 of my podcast, my mom and I discuss fighting to protect your data and your privacy. Watch: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI
Even Beyoncé and Serena Williams faced serious childbirth complications. In this episode, we talk about why Black maternal mortality remains so high and why access alone does not guarantee safety. Watch the clip and the full episode of Prescribing a Healthier Future. https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
Alzheimer’s steals memories—and the people we love. Families shouldn’t have to choose between treatment and financial stability. That’s why I authored SB 950: if your doctor prescribes an FDA-approved Alzheimer’s medication, insurance must cover it. No step therapy. No barriers. 💙
"Those payments should count." SB 1199 passed the Senate 26-0. Now it heads to the Assembly. #SD39 #CALeg
Do calls and emails to elected officials really matter? In this episode, we talk about how there are real people reading, listening, and taking notes on what communities are experiencing. Advocacy starts with using your voice. Watch the full conversation: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
A patient called 911 repeatedly - not for emergencies, but because he had no other way to leave his house. This highlights a devastating gap in medical transportation that forces impossible choices. We must build better systems for mobility access. New episode drop: https://youtu.be/0WWkkoUkMvs
“My children have to bring me to my appointments. Do I pay for medicine or rent?" This is what social determinants of health look like in real life. Courtney and I talk about how these realities affect Black maternal health and why listening to lived experiences matters. youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8

UK Energy Bills Could Rise Amid Iran Conflict “Drilling more North Sea oil won’t cut UK prices, it’s sold globally. Better to focus on heat pumps, EVs, renewables and efficiency to lower bills and boost security,” says Jan Rosenow, Professor of Energy and Climate Policy, Oxford University, on LBC.
What if you were bought? Not a sinister idea ... a liberating one. Revelation 5 talks about Jesus "purchasing" people from every tribe and nation. Not into servitude. Into belonging. Into a dignity no one can take away. 2-min reflection + free Mark's Gospel: live.bible.is/bible/ENGNLH...
