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.

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?
There’s new reporting about an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer showing promise in an early trial. This is treatment research, not prevention. We lost someone close to me, Jonathan P. Hicks, to pancreatic cancer. So when I hear news like this, I hear possibility. Hope, caution, or both?
Since it’s Women’s History Month, this story hits harder. Reuters and AP report that Dolores Huerta said she stayed silent for decades because she believed telling the truth would hurt the movement she helped build with César Chávez.  How many women have done that in silence?
A healthy birth does not start in the delivery room. It starts with trust, access, and being taken seriously before the crisis. Black maternal health is bigger than pregnancy. It is also about how the system listens, responds, and follows through. #BMHW26

Rage bait is designed to hijack your emotions. Bots or not, your nervous system still pays the price. Disengagement isn’t weakness. It’s discipline. Protect your peace.
Prior authorization means your insurance company wants approval before they agree to pay for a medication, scan, or treatment. A lot of these delays are administrative, not just medical. Ask: Was it submitted? Pending or denied? Appeal needed? People are not wrong for being frustrated.

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.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

🤼Kotoeiho and Oshoma battle right to the edge with Kotoeiho giving Oshoma the last little bump he needed. They call it okurinage (rear throw down), which I think is new to me. Kotoeiho now 9-2 and firmly among the leaders, Oshoma 5-6.
