Democracy requires a shared vision of America's future. We differ on the path, but we must unite on the destination. Right now, different factions see different Americas. That's the crisis we face. Watch: youtu.be/wlHsAvjaZEI
Black Californians live 5 years less than the state average. Black mothers are nearly 3x more likely to die from pregnancy complications, despite most deaths being preventable. Your race or zip code should never determine your health. #BlackHealthEquity
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
“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
At least 57 HBCUs received bomb threats in just January and February—racially motivated acts of intimidation, according to the FBI. Dr. Kelly O. Elmore and I discuss safety, leadership, and why real leaders protect their people—especially our students. 🎓 Full episode: youtu.be/aEG7HS3WY0c
We know the problem and we have the resources, yet Black women continue to die from heart disease at unacceptable rates. In our latest episode, we talk about what needs to change and how we can be part of that change. Watch the full episode: https://youtu.be/0ZXqUZl8Pe8
SCR 122 is now official. February 2026 marks 100 years of Black History Month—a century of honoring the contributions and resilience of African Americans. Honoring this history means continuing the work to advance equity and justice for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #SCR122
Patients deserve to feel safe when they seek medical care. SB 849 closes a loophole that allowed physicians whose licenses were revoked for sexual misconduct to seek reinstatement. If that trust is violated, there must be permanent accountability. #PatientSafety #SB849
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. 💙
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
