Date night with Den. With everything going on right now, sometimes all can do is sit back and laugh! A little comedy goes a long way! @ Oxnard Levity Live https://t.co/7o8dKjYhxW

Hey there, Twitter. Long time no see. ☺️ (smiling face emoji). Just popping in to say I'm still around and will work on being more active on here rather than just passively scrolling. Hope all is well with everyone!

I had a chance to meet Marina in 2019, since she was one of the students who I taught for my health literacy capstone project for my MPH at @universityofga. she was a powerhouse then, and she continues to be so. Fun fact: she is also graduating this year!

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege...plain and simple! Without your health, you don’t have anything!
