@POTUS @VP It’s a long shot, but it’s still a shot! As you stomp the campaign trail, please consider attending @equitybeforebirth’s 3rd Annual Dance Party Fundraiser to commemorate Black Maternal Health Week. We would love to host you down here in Durham, NC!

@Morning_Joe @MSNBC this Morning Joe discussion is completely off the rails. How many ways can Joe with his all-white male panel deny racism?? #morningjoe #msnbc

[C.S. Watkins @DrCSWatkins]

@Morn_Joe Did I just hear Joe say that crime is concentrated in the neighborhoods of Black and Brown people?! We need to run that back!

[C.S. Watkins @DrCSWatkins]

@AttorneyCrump Thank you so much for sharing my story, @AttorneyCrump. Please also share info about community orgs like @EquityB4Birth that do the hard work of addressing the consequences of these racial inequities

If #AmericanNightmare on @Netflix is not the perfect example of how eradicating structural racism benefits everyone, I don’t know what is

[C.S. Watkins @DrCSWatkins]

@profblmkelley Wishing you nothing but the best

[C.S. Watkins @DrCSWatkins]

When you get to see a former research collaborator, @EbonyBoulware, on an amazing panel discussion with Dr. @uche_blackstock, the author of the book you’ve been fanning for a year now, discussing the link between structural racism and health outcomes among Black people. WOW!

[C.S. Watkins @DrCSWatkins]

@LaraGerassi It was truly my pleasure!
