I’m so grateful to every single person who joined today. We came together from medical school, anesthesiology, OB/GYN, urology, family medicine, and internal medicine to remember #GeorgeFloyd. It’s time to break the culture of silence.

@TJUHospital I appreciate Dr. Zhang beautifully and bravely depicting the dichotomy of the first generation experience. Standing in solidarity against continued demonstrations of AAPI hate

As we headed to the Philadelphia Airport this past Sunday, we struggled to imagine how we could help in one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our time. The toys and snacks we had gathered seemed just as inadequate as the point of care medical interventions we could provide.

This is not a far-off crisis, and we must be more than spectators. Whether you donate to relief efforts in Afghanistan or call your local politicians to advocate on behalf of the Afghan refugees, you CAN make a difference.

Guys, today I was mistaken for an environmental service worker.

a caucasian woman leaving the bathroom approaches me to say:

- I know you're on your break right now, but I want to tell you there is no soap in the womens bathroom.

How's your Monday going?

We have a long, long way to go.

But preventing voter intimidation?

That’s one jawn we can be proud of

In Philadelphia, we see how “law and order” politics have pitted law enforcement against Communities of Color.
We encounter the ramifications of institutionalized racism, both imperceptible and all-too-real, in our daily practice.
We check our privilege.
