@CDCgov If you haven’t been vaccinated yet, what’s holding you back? From where I sit as a doctor (who deeply loves her patients) getting vaccinated is the right choice for nearly all people. That said- freedom means we ALL have the right to choose for ourselves ❤️

Get this.

Last night I, along with a coalition of Black physicians, met with the President and Senior Leadership of the AMA.

Here’s what went down:

A thread.

@drjessigold @DrBrittaniJ Oh no I just disappeared for a long time 😂

Friday meditation: Faith isn’t faith if you only have it in the light. Faith is that thing that moves your feet forward in the darkness. The invisible hand that holds you up when you are sure you have fallen for the last time.

[Brandi Jackson MD @DrBrandiJ]

I applaud @APAPsychiatric for their acknowledgement of racism in psychiatry. That said, admitting that you have a problem is the first step. I repeat: the FIRST step. I, and all black psychiatrists, are watching. #BlackMentalHealth #snma #nma

[American Psychiatric Association @APApsychiatric]

Today, APA is taking an important step in addressing racism in psychiatry. We are beginning the process of making amends for both direct and indirect acts of racism in psychiatry, we apologize for our contributions to structural racism and pledge enacting anti-racist practices.

My favorite patient is the so-called “difficult” patient because usually they’re scared, misunderstood or both.

#MedTwitter What has been the main motivator behind your career choices to date? Any regrets? Or do you feel you choose wisely?

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

I want to speak directly to the Black women in our country. Thank you. You are too often overlooked, and yet are asked time and again to step up and be the backbone of our democracy. We could not have done this without you.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We did it, @JoeBiden.

This Election Day, everything is on the line. Our jobs. Our health care. Whether or not we get this pandemic under control. But here’s the good news: today, you can choose change. You can elect @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Let’s win this thing.

[Brandi Jackson MD @DrBrandiJ]
