@nigimmigration Why is it taken ages for my passport to be produced when it was clearly stated it will take 2 months only?

I went for my biometrics in June and this is October! I am constantly being harassed to bring my update passport data page by my institution!

While this interview does not specifically talk about possible mental health challenges this dilemma may cause, it touches on it little and it stirs up a need for such conversations I would love to spare head.

Today was an interesting opportunity to highlight a form of intersectionality we rarely ever talk about in the public health space. It’s not out of place to analyze and try to comprehend how diverse capabilities of an individual can be a become a source of discrimination.

My Interview with Dr. Ron https://t.co/Xo1SaeGXBx

[NOOKS, MD, MPH @dr_nooks]

Status quo can become a dangerous thing even in this aspect of life, where professionals live in fear of rejection and discrimination based on their desire to explore other talents they might have which lie completely outside the general expectations for their chosen profession.

@drichboix Simply breathe taking!

[NOOKS, MD, MPH @dr_nooks]

Ever wondered how you might help make this world a better place, specifically, how you can help out with another person’s mental wellness?

People go through a lot in life so just be kind & thoughtful when dealing with them, because you just never know 🤷🏾‍♂️

Notice that the lighter that doesn’t come on (representing traumatized persons), has to keep its gas flowing in order to receive light from another.

Likewise, if your spark is out, you would need to keep hope alive in order to accept the help you need & get better!

[NOOKS, MD, MPH @dr_nooks]

Suicide has now become a one of the leading causes of death in the youth and is often a result of Depression and other mental health issues!

Achieving mental health equity is a priority focus area for the @cdcgov #PRCnetwork. Learn how PRCs are addressing the mental health needs of their communities by improving community responses to mental health crises with trainings and capacity building. https://t.co/UWX58dHOKu

@wakawaka_doctor Given the fact that the system is racist, the fact that you get accepted from your country to come & work anywhere goes to buttress the fact that, they don't even have citizens worthy enough to fill those positions otherwise they wouldn't look to Africa for their workforce needs.

[NOOKS, MD, MPH @dr_nooks]

Ongoing now... This is a great recipee for some of the mental health issues immigrants deal with... Listen and learn!

@wakawaka_doctor I remember how relaxed and unserious I was at my visa interview... Dude started laughing at one point after denying a couple people he said yes to me.... Confidence can never be overlooked... I hope one day all Africans learn this!
