Attended an amazing talk by @Drnicolecb tonight about the Impact of Racial Trauma on Youth Development. Everyone should check out her work, no matter what specialty you are interested in. Every specialty has racial disparities. Learn about it so you can address it!

Mother's Day is such a complicated holiday for me. I love being a mother & love celebrating my mother, but in 2018 I lost a good friend to suicide on Mothers day. I go through moments of joy and periods of mourning. I look at my kids & think about hers. My heart just hurts💔

A 12-year-old boy was shot and killed yesterday when he stopped to buy ice cream at a Florida convenience store, but you might not have heard about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.

A team of data analysts has found the presence of Black primary care docs in a county, even a single one, means Black residents in that county live longer. Even veteran researchers call the finding stunning statnews.com/2023/04/14/bla…
