You should not be going to medical appointments alone. When you’re the patient, you miss things. That second person listens, and helps you advocate. This isn’t about conflict. It’s about protection. With everything happening in healthcare, this is one thing we can control. #MinorityHealthPartners
Too many Black women know what it feels like to have symptoms minimized or brushed off. Self-advocacy is not being difficult. It can be lifesaving. If your body is telling you something is wrong, keep pushing.
Mental Health Monday question: Do you still nurture your Day One friendships and allow yourself to build Day Two friendships? Mental health isn’t always clinical. Sometimes it’s relational. #MentalHealthMonday #MensMentalHealth #FriendshipMatters #Brotherhood #MinorityHealthPartners
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.
Former NBA player Jason Collins has shared that he has been diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma. This is heavy news. Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of brain cancer, and moments like this remind us how quickly life can change. Sending strength, compassion, and support to him and his loved ones
Measles elimination meant the virus stopped spreading widely, not that it disappeared. Outbreaks like this happen when protection weakens. This is a reminder of how public health works and why prevention matters.
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?
Black maternal health is still a crisis. One thing that does not get enough attention is the role Black fathers can play too. Showing up, asking questions, and advocating matters.
Jason Collins was not just a former NBA player. He was the first openly gay player in NBA history. Now his death at 47 is also putting a spotlight on glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. If symptoms keep going or feel off, follow up.
A lot of adults grew up with autism traits that were missed, misunderstood, or explained away. Autism is not new. What’s newer is people finally having language for what was missed. How many adults were never difficult at all, just misunderstood?
"Israeli air strikes have killed at least 14 people in southern Lebanon [yesterday]. It is the latest violation of last months ceasefire agreement. Over 3,000 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel began its attacks on March 2nd & more than 1.6m have been displaced.."
Emily Compango lamented the fact that Democrats don't want to work with Trump or support his ideas. I'm sure she felt the same way about Republicans when Biden was president.

Trump is planning on war in Iran for regime change. This will threaten the lives of Americans and innocent Iranians and we don't quite know how that makes America first. Call your Congress members and tell them NO!
Here's a hypocrite if I ever saw one: Ani O'Brien saying people should be able to say what they want in their free time, even if "crude" Maiki's wasn't even a public case like this one Jordan William's "Free Speech Union" should abolish itself - was always obviously a fake

Your vote hits different in a primary. 🗳️💥 200,000 show up in November. Maybe. But only 40,000 decide who makes it there. Grab 100 friends. Grab 500. The primary is where your vote has outsized impact. Low turnout = high leverage. Stop waiting for the general. Start swinging the election now.

Trump pardoned the Binance founder, a man who admitted to money laundering; then couldn’t even remember who he was. Said “a lot of people recommended him.” The same guy who called Biden’s pardons illegal now signs off on criminal immunity like he’s ordering room service.

When Sergei Krajev, a bus driver, was killed by Gary Jones, both white, NO outrage. No two-tier Britain. No pure cold rage. For Nigel Farage, white lives only matter when the killer is non-white. When the killer's white? White lives don't matter. Farage is the one creating two-tier Britain.
