"As a healthy young Black man, he would likely survive the coronavirus. But police brutality needs no preexisting conditions to kill immediately," writes @iamKSealsAllers. https://t.co/rDGF05t2SK

Facts!!!
A funny and inspiring episode!!

[Kimberly Seals Allers @iamKSealsAllers]

How we communicate about #Breastfeeding matters! But when researchers don't include racial nuances in analysis & offer no equity lens--its disappointing & unacceptble. Great work @rperezescamilla @YaleSPH @AnitaCaduff @ucsandiego but WHERE R THE BLACK PPL? https://t.co/F3ST9lkEGh

[Kimberly Seals Allers @iamKSealsAllers]

Me too! Would be happier if analysis incl impact of race/role of Black breastfeeding advocates on Twitter. Research without equity lens is disappointing--even for Twitter. @rperezescamilla @YaleSPH @UCSanDiego @AnitaCaduff #LarssonRosenquistFoundation

Just my annual reminder that mothers deserve to be celebrated more than just one day and that instead of flowers we’d really like paid leave, affordable childcare & a culture that values mothering as important work.

Now, enjoy the overpriced brunches and gifts! #MothersDay2021

@maxwellmcguire @johnsonproduct2 John F Hayes, As white men, Be Better! This is not your story to write/tell! Use your privilege in service of the Black women who birthed for & breastfed your ancestors. “Beware of the Midwife” is dangerous to Black ppl & poor timing! It’s #BMHW21

[Kimberly Seals Allers @iamKSealsAllers]

@lifetimetv @LMN ICYMI, we are not here for white men telling Black stories-even trashy ones—READ THE ROOM or a stat on how Black midwives improve birth outcomes & then be more responsible! Not to mention bad midwife is Black & white female Ob/GYN plays savior. 🙄🙄Do better! &👇🏽

[Kimberly Seals Allers @iamKSealsAllers]

@lifetimetv, I know melodramatic danger-porn is your brand but “Beware of the Midwife”crosses the line!Airing on #BlackMaternalHealthWeek 🤬when Black folks are working to normalize midwifery care to literally save our lives.WORSE-your production team looks like this👇🏽👇🏽in 2021/1

@ElseNutrition
Pls stop emailing me. TODDLERS DO NOT NEED FORMULA. Not even a plant-based one. Nope!
Not from a tree, says the CDC
Not even from bamboo, according to the WHO
Not from almonds, buckwheat or Alfalfa, Spanky or Darla
TODDLERS DO NOT NEED FORMULA @GrowPlantBased
