[Nancy Abu-Bonsrah, MD, MPH @BonsrahNancy]

Of all the things I’m privileged to do, mentoring is one I hold dear. What an honor to have hooded Dr. Akosua Oppong today! I can’t even begin to describe how proud I am. You’re going to do such great things!

[Shreya Sridhara @shreya_sridhara]

if you have skin of color and are spending more time outside now that it’s summer, you don’t need sunscreen, right? not so fast…. (1/5)

[Akosua Oppong, MD MPH @AkosOppong]

I’m looking forward to starting residency in just a few weeks! If you’d like to support my transition, please check out my wishlist at https://t.co/ZwY7XGnRJL

[Akosua Oppong, MD MPH @AkosOppong]

I am incredibly humbled to receive the @usphscc Excellence in Public Health Award from LtCdr. Jennifer Adams while being supported by my deans @FutureDocs and @jnwchitown. My passion for maternal and reproductive global health continues to fuel my career in medicine. #OBGYN

[Michele Rayner (She/They/Tired) @micheleforfl]

Good morning y’all.

Ralph Yarl. A 16 year old Black baby boy was shot because he went to the wrong door (as he attempted to pick up his siblings). He was shot in the head and again as he bled out on the ground.

His shooter- a white man- is free.

So many things I can say but for now- just extreme sadness. Gratitude that he’s still alive. Also- I’m tired of this shit.

Black boys deserve to grow up.

Black men deserve to grow old.💔💔

[Akosua Oppong, MD MPH @AkosOppong]

Visited the home where my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, and aunts were born and grew up. My grandmother passed before I was born so my great-grandmother stood in her place. This is me, my mother, and my aunts surrounding her. Strong women raising strong women!

[Akosua Oppong, MD MPH @AkosOppong]

This residency transition process is very wild. The budget is not budgeting because the salary is not salarying. But I’m so thankful for all the support I’ve received so far. Please check out my @medgradwishlist if you’d like to support my journey. https://t.co/ZwY7XGnRJL

[Akosua Oppong, MD MPH @AkosOppong]

That’s my best friend!!! I am so so so proud. 💜

[Addy Adesina MD, MA @AddyAdesina]

Incredibly humbled to learn that my @CWRUSOM classmate @PotterTamia and I will be the first black female residents to train at our respective #neurosurgery programs! @LSUneurosurgery #Match2023

Cannot be more excited to have matched to my dream program—equity-driven, trainee-oriented, and filled to the brim with committed, compassionate advocates and (soon-to-be) friends ❤️ Ready to roll up my sleeves and get started!! 💪🏾💪🏾

[Addy Adesina MD, MA @AddyAdesina]

I matched into #neurosurgery this past week and it still feels unreal. So incredibly grateful to those who helped me accomplish this goal!!

I created a @medgradwishlist to help my transition to residency. Any and all support is appreciated!😊 #Match2023

I had such an amazing conversation with Dr. Lane-Fall. She is truly inspiring!

[UChicago Pritzker School of Medicine @UChiPritzker]

Last week, Dr. Meghan Lane-Fall spent a day at Pritzker as our @AOA_society Visiting Professor and gave a brilliant lecture on aligning DEI and patient safety. Learn more about her story and her message in her interview with M4 @AkosOppong:
