first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
When I asked how I could be a good ally I was once told this:
“When stones are being thrown at us, if none of them hit you, you are not standing close enough.”
Winnie’s courage illustrates what is a true ally. Braver and kinder and wiser than all of her critics put together.
There is a drastic imbalance of whose lives are valued more- &how right to life is subjective based on the political power backing you.
This plays out in Gaza but also in our institutions. In language that doesn’t name perpetrators &in silences we can hear but cannot bear.
Still on last week's course with @paimadhu, @udnore et al. Amazing team @McGillGHP#summerschool. We 'Reimagined Global Health.' Challenging POWER & PRIVILEGE is crucial for any engagement in global health. Walked away with a stronger call to demand better, do better by @innodim
Grateful to recieve the @WHO Director-General’s Award for Global Health from @DrTedros. I humbly accept this on behalf of Barbados and all those who have fought, and continue to fight for better healthcare. All for Health, Health for All. #WHA77

Since @GlobalHealthBMJ doesn't want the world to hear about Global Health's silence during genocide, we will bring it directly to the people. We do not deserve to be called "Global Health" in the face of genocide. A short thread below 🧵
