I was racially profiled yesterday and accused of stealing dress shirts. I was enraged. I did not sleep last night — I am angry, offended, and frankly, fearful.

My blood pressure is up, and I am beyond stressed. And y’all wonder why we talk about health issues caused by racism.

Racism is non-negotiable & not an opinion. Transphobia, homophobia, & sexism are non-negotiable & are not opinions. You gain respect from me fairly easily not being any of those things. (1/2)

I’ve heard many PTs make slick comments about their patients weight, and I have seen the switch in patient care when treating fat patients. As a profession, we must change our view on fat politics. We are movement specialists, not weight watchers.

@Samantha_ATC @lynmeyerhoff @TurnBomb15 You’re completely right it IS about more than Jacob Blake, but it’s not about you. You’ve been living in fear for a week while black Americans live in fear everyday. You’re going to be okay. Jacob Blake doesn’t have that luxury and neither do a lot of black Americans. And that’s

If you are an Athletic Trainer and you are feeling like you can properly practice patient-centered care without educating yourself on and acknowledging the movement that is currently taking place... you are INCREDIBLY mistaken.

If America had the mindset of a college football locker room, a complete melting pot of people with different backgrounds becoming a family that loves each other working together for one goal we’d be so much better off

This should not still be happening in our profession. We have to hold ourselves accountable and do better. Please read this thread and consider what you personally can do to contribute to making our profession better for EVERYONE #AT4ALL
