Excited to share I’ve recently joined the Clinical, Assessment, Regulatory, Evaluation (CARE) Unit as a PA at @IVIHeadquarters in Seoul, Korea!

I'll be taking on several vaccine studies, including #chikungunya, #covid, and #cholera.

“When a Black woman dies during childbirth, whether in São Paulo, Bogotá or NY, it’s often put down to her lifestyle or to individual failure..." said Dr. @Atayeshe, executive director of UNFPA. The new UN analysis, she said, “categorically refutes that.”

I wanna see journalists talk about how media orgs are perpetuating misinformation.

I wanna see doctors talk about how occupation and apartheid are health issues

I wanna see tech employees talk about how the technology they build is utilized for surveillance and violence

War and violence have devastating impacts on children's health in EMR. More than 133,000 children died in 2017 alone, with the highest death rates per 100,000 reported in Syria (183.7), Iraq (80.1) and Yemen (77.4) https://t.co/QLcWBwTsr9

How about these women who are completely alienated by the Lebanese community, marginalized for being #African & migrant domestic workers, and have no system or law that protects them? My heart breaks whenever I see my fellow African women being treated like slaves

Colombusing aside, I do want to stress that wearing #masks should in NO way ever become a sign of a certain population.

Whether it's the #chic or wealthy in #France, or the religious sects with their symbols sewn in #Lebanon.

Masks should be accessible, NOT a fashion statement.

[Bo Kim, MPH @bototheworld]

When Asians do it, their culture "lacks hygiene", but when white colonizers do, it all of a sudden becomes "#chic"...??

wlla ma fehmt. "New" would imply never done before. Their #masks are actual rip-offs of what we've been wearing for decades😅 la culture des imitateurs..

Covid masks give the French a new way to be chic https://t.co/uuJY5uzx8L

The NYPD’s budget is $6,000,000,000

That’s more than the city spends on health, homelessness, youth development and workforce development combined.

#Diversity is when we're recognized & differences are respected. #Inclusion is a step further, when our values & voices are integrated into decision making, opportunities, and promotions.

#Equity is a goal all institutions should aim for.

#PublicHealth professionals and medical personnel serve and ensure the well-being of people and society. Aligning ourselves with the fight against #racism, inequities, and disparities is a responsibility and promise we must keep.

"We propose 5 tenets w/ supporting action items that can be used by orgs to develop zero-tolerance strategies toward harassment and discrimination."

Looking forward to institutions going beyond "#diversity" in order to proactively seek #inclusion.

Clashes have erupted near Martyrs Square. Lots of rock throwing. The Army and Riot police have intervened with sound bombs .

From my vantage point it appears Amal partisans confronted protestors after some called for disarming Hezbollah.

On the discord around #blacklivesmatter & how it translates into Korean: 흑인생명과 목숨은 당연히 누구나의 것처럼 소중하다. 그러나 BLM은 #경찰만행 #policebrutality, 인종차별의 체계상 문제를 없애자는 말로 '도' 대신 '은/이' 써선 안된다. #흑인생명도소중하다 #흑인목숨도소중하다 /2

[Bo Kim, MPH @bototheworld]

What does it mean to be black, brown, foreign in South Korea? Anti-blackness를 맞서싸우고 bystander로 조용히 연루되선 안된다. #흑인목숨도소중하다.
