I was asked this weekend how I feel about "Google Warriors" that I may encounter in my medical practice. My mind immediately flashed to the "don't confuse your Google search with my medical degree" signs and the clever response that many disabled and chronically ill folks give:

💗Today we remember the incomparable Alice Wong — a visionary activist, storyteller, and founder of the Disability Visibility Project. Alice changed the world by insisting that disabled people be the narrators of their own lives.
Rest in power. We will carry your light forward.
Incredible panel on #SocialDeterminants at #AAMC2024 this morning. In a moment when we need hope (and so much more empathy), hearing our global colleagues talk strategy and lessons learned was so needed!
It’s rare I get to be in a space where disability studies and medicine are so beautifully intertwined. Thank you Dr. Neera Jain for highlighting Kafer’s political-relational model of disability and integrating it into learners experiences! #AAMC2024

Did you know that first gen docs are more like to be women, URiM and Pell grant recipients? What an important group to prioritize in #MedEd, to provide culturally relevant care! #AAMC2024

🌈 As we conclude LGBTQI Pride Month and move into Disability Pride Month, let's celebrate and acknowledge the intersectionality of these identities. 🫂
Disability identity transcends all identities, intersecting with race, gender, sexuality, and more. It's vital to remember that those who are the most marginalized often exist at these intersections.
True equality is only achieved when every single person can bring their full and authentic identity to their training and practice. Let's continue to advocate for #AntiOppressiveEducation and create safe and inclusive spaces for all. 🏳️🌈♿✨
