Today I had the honor of presenting my research program for @UVAPsyc’s Rising Star colloquium.
Thank you so much @UVA, those who nominated me for the talk, and my support system. I am so grateful to be able to lead this impactful research and excited to start my career.
A new study showed that maternal mortality in the United States DOUBLED over the last two decades.
That is unacceptable.
Congress must pass the #Momnibus immediately.

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.
The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at Harvard and UNC. The major ruling curtails race-conscious college admissions in the U.S., all but ensuring that elite institutions become whiter and more Asian and less Black and Latino.

Special thank you to @mindfield_drj, your mentorship, support, and being able to work with you the last year has been so transformative and rewarding! I am so grateful!
A school book ban is any action taken against a book that leaves access to a book restricted or diminished. This decision of moving my book from its original place, taken after one parent complained, diminishes the access elementary schoolers would have previously had to my poem. Glad @FLFreedomRead and I could help clarify that for @MDCPS to ensure accurate information.
ICYMI: I didn’t post this article when it came out a few days ago, because tbh, I was too sad, angry, & exhausted to post again about how living as a Black person in this country is deadly.
From 1999-2020, 1.8 million excess deaths of Black Americans!
