Black women are constantly told to advocate for themselves in healthcare. That is real. But sometimes the issue is bigger than self-advocacy. Sometimes the system is not built to catch us the same way. Do not let one test result shut the whole conversation down.

Have you ever heard of a “mother wound” before? We often focus on what adults are running to, but not enough on what they may be running from. Sometimes you’re talking to an adult. Sometimes you’re also speaking to the hurt child underneath. What did you think about the video?
Update: Mom delivered safely but the baby had green amniotic fluid and needs follow up tests. This can happen when labor is delayed or stressful. Please don’t labor alone. Know your hospital. Advocate early. Black maternal health matters. #MinorityHealthPartners
A lot of adults end up helping their parents navigate Medicare. Simple version: Part A = hospital care Part B = doctor visits Part C = Medicare Advantage Part D = prescriptions The confusion is real, and it is often a system problem. What part confuses people most?
Why do doctor visits feel so short? Because doctors are often trying to review charts, listen, make decisions, document, order tests, send prescriptions, and deal with insurance in a very limited time window. It is also a system design issue. What do you wish they had more time to explain?
It’s Deductible December. If you met your deductible, December is the cheapest month of the year to get care. Everything resets January one. Check your portal and look at your deductible and out of pocket max.
We often honor scientific contributions long after the work is done. But some of the most important voices in medicine and public health are still here, still educating, still answering questions. Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett is one of them. Hidden figures don’t have to stay hidden.
Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. on the King Holiday. He spoke about healthcare, labor, and dignity long before we had the language for health equity. This is a reminder that health has always been shaped by systems, not just individual choices.
Sad news in hip-hop. Rob Base, one half of Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, has reportedly passed away at the age of 59 after a private battle with cancer. Thank you for the music, the joy, and the memories.
Mental Health Monday. If you felt unsettled after this weekend, that reaction is valid. This isn’t about arguing or taking sides. It’s about mental health and choosing responses that help us stay grounded rather than overwhelmed. Do what’s within your capacity. Protect your peace.
Shedeur Sanders’ first NFL win is a masterclass in self-belief. People doubted him. He trusted his preparation. Mental health isn’t just surviving. It’s knowing who you are — even when others don’t see it yet. #MentalHealthMonday

It's one thing to protest against the supposed 'threat of militarism' without connecting it to russia's aggression. It is another matter entirely to sabotage companies that help a sovereign European nation defend itself against russian terrorism - in the name of a terrorist regime allied to russia

The key distinction is between nominal wages and real wages. Nominal wages are the dollars on your paycheck. Real wages are what those dollars can actually buy. If prices rise faster than pay, you’re going backwards.
