The #APHA2024 Opening General Session was the first of many scheduled events that will explore ways to combat misinformation, regain trust in public health and improve scientific literacy. The session featured Reed Tuckson as the keynote speaker. https://t.co/FCshCupOpG
So excited to be at the 2024 APHA Annual Meeting. The land acknowledgement was beautiful and I have been enjoying the speakers in the opening session.

I had an amazing time at day one of #BMHC22! I’m so glad I’m able to experience this in person!
I remember leaving the inaugural conference in 2019 feeling so strongly I made the right career choice to study public health, seeing the many Black women who were doing the work
Excited to be at the #AIMAnnualMeeting2022 today! The first plenary by @KomalBajajMD has been an amazing start with her sharing tangible steps for including equity in quality improvement. Looking forward to diving into her resources later for some steps to apply to my work
A recommendation sitting with me is including patients as a part of the interviewing panel for clinical positions- an amazing idea to include (and compensate) community and show their opinion is critically important
We had such an engaging presentation! We really dove deep on the benefits and challenges of community doulas. Excited to connect with our new friends and colleagues who joined us!
Happy first day of #BlackMaternalHealthWeek! I'm looking forward to learning and engaging with so many amazing people and organizations this week!
