Absolutely loved writing this piece; What I’m most excited about is learning to no longer keep my passions separate, but finding ways to create a new multidisciplinary career in medicine. Stay tuned.😄🩺

When @MeharryMedical's @mayasuilan visited @CantorArts, she saw how #art & #medicine could be combined: "To me, art represents freedom & fluidity while medicine focuses on facts. This was an opportunity for me to see how clinicians can marry the two." https://t.co/JqazNmVwtW

Really enjoyed writing this piece; I learned so much about how multidisciplinary medicine IS and how we, all, can merge our passions into the field! And shoutout to my fellow Meharrians who excelled at Stanford for the summer!

Attended the Rally for Reproductive Rights at Stanford today. Was a sorrowful, emotional, yet beautiful and hopeful time together as the @StanfordDeptMed. Only the beginning. Donate, call your state officials, and most of all, TALK about it.

Abortion is healthcare.

In light of today’s Supreme Court ruling it has never been more important to show support for gender-based health equity and reproductive rights.

Join the @StanfordMed rally on Monday, June 27 at 12p in front of LKSC

Rayshard Brooks was a father.

George Floyd was a father.

Eric Garner. Sean Bell. Delrawn Smalls. Alton Sterling. Walter Scott. Bobby Gross. Terence Crutcher. Sam Dubose. Oscar Grant. Philando Castile. Donald Ivy. Deonte Dorsey.

They were fathers too.

May they rest in Power.

Too often we push away the people who genuinely love us, just to embrace those who really don't care about us. #BeingMaryJane
