If you are wondering why I'm bald, here is my story. Thanks to my family, friends, colleagues @MDAndersonNews, & support from @NAAF_org for helping me on my alopecia journey. https://t.co/oOIWg0xkCz

September is Alopecia Awareness Month and this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Please help me reach my goal! https://t.co/ZRxFgFkBH8 #alopecia

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

@neciegreen This hurts my heart 😢

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

@bnpeyton @TODAYshow @MDAndersonNews Yes I’d love one too!

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

If you live in Houston & have alopecia (or know someone who does), then please join @NAAF_org’s Houston support group this Saturday, March 25th at 2:30 pm. We will meet at the Dish Society on 12525 Memorial Drive. Thanks! #Alopecia

It is that time: bluebonnets at @MDAndersonNews!

@IshwariaMD @HoustonMarathon @VivekSubbiah You were a champ and powered through it all! Special shoutout to all the spectators and volunteers. The donuts from family were my dopamine hit and special kudos to the guy with Parle-G!

I had read “Atomic Habits” by ⁦@JamesClear⁩ when it first came out, though this podcast with ⁦@tferriss⁩ was a great refresher! My favorite quote: You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. https://t.co/7S4cPnncNp

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

"10-year dreams. 5-minute actions.

Where do I want to be in 10 years?

What can I do in the next 5 minutes to contribute to that outcome?"

– @JamesClear.
This is my new mantra for 2023!

@neciegreen @astros How long was the line to buy the merch? Need it for the parade!

[Houston Astros @astros]

JOB. FINISHED.

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

@kmschmeler @MelissaLoVaron @Jrodelkins @345071 @MilaPSalcedo @UTHealthSPH @MDAndersonNews @ProjectECHO Congratulations! So very proud of you!

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

This is the trifecta of leadership wisdom from ⁦@BreneBrown⁩, ⁦@simonsinek⁩ ⁦& ⁦@AdamMGrant⁩! And ⁦@AdamMGrant⁩ had the mic drop moment with this: Most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed. https://t.co/zFbptPsVRt

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

My @MDAndersonNews peeps: if you missed the talk, make sure to watch the recording! Life changing and such good life & leadership lessons.

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

Celebrating leadership day at @MDAndersonNews & loving what @CyWakeman is preaching! My favorite nugget: drama is emotional waste. Leaders need to facilitate good mental processes. Ask powerful questions like what would great look like?

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

Absolutely loved hearing @AdamMGrant speak at @MDAndersonNews today! Few takeaways: reframe how I think of imposter syndrome (it actually makes you work harder!), share costs of not changing especially in the face of uncertainty, & have confident humility.

[Shamsha Damani @shamsha]

September is Alopecia Awareness Month. Would you please consider donating a small amount to help @NAAF_org in its mission to help find a cure or acceptable treatment? Even $5 will help. Thanks! #AlopeciaAwarenessMonth https://t.co/4J6zGOMDne

And @MDAndersonNews is #10 on this list for Top Employers for Women! This quote from @Beyonce sums up how I feel: “I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate & continue to support & take care of each other… That is power.” So very proud!

[Forbes @Forbes]

The top employers for women range from shoe companies to hospitals. https://t.co/MxZEZv9hTz #AmericasBestEmployers
