The fact that no one in @NYCSchools sent out an air quality advisory today is incredibly irresponsible and dangerous.
I work in the Bronx, many of our kids struggle with asthma & other health issues, and we left the windows open all day bc no one bothered to tell us otherwise.
@healthcareandy We exist. The slow, steady with deep impact co’s are here. The folks that take up the space and get rewarded for such usually fall squarely in the unicorn or bust lane.

I’ve never immediately cried upon reading the first pages of a book. I mean ugly 😭. I FEEL like I’ve opened up a sacred dimension as I write chapters of my SACRED Birth QUAL research based on the patient expertise & experiences of 37 Black women who birthed in Oakland & LA.
Lineage is an important part of equity work. Too often folks are quick to take up space without acknowledging who made it possible for them to be there in the first place.
I also see why patients will tell us things that might not feel relevant to our specific team - I never know if info will make it through to the right person. The hospital room is a powerless space so the most control we can have is just repeating our priorities ad nauseum.
Let’s not forget @vanessamason and @marquesafinch were the first to kick off this idea of investing in health equity tech with @P2Health
💐Flowers for the both of you for paving the way for so many to follow.
Black Policy Lab was birthed out of the modern movement for Black lives as a way for our community members to be included in the policy-making process. Policy begins with awareness of our stories and journeys.
Elemy, a digital health company that raised $2190M in 2021, is actively caring for 462 kids as of July 2022.
462 kids and a $1.15B valuation means that each kid is worth $2,4M. Total nuts.
