Today I stood in a room in front of a panel of old white men trying to hold their power over me and raised my voice to say:
“Do not interrupt me, I’m not finished talking.”
Later, I cried.
Today me is the hero my younger, meeker self didn’t know she needed.
if you’re going to be awful to staff and refuse care when you come to the hospital, don’t come in! 😇 let us use our skills and resources on people who deserve and want it.
I know mother’s day can be hard for some of you and if you’re in that position I love you so much! I’ll be your mom today if you want im proud of you 💛
