“How do we honour our patients, their humanity and our own, within a health care system increasingly stretched to its limits? Perhaps it starts with reimagining the most routine of tasks — a note.” An incredibly moving reflection by @divyasanthan3 cmaj.ca/content/195/3/…
Medical students @ClaireDong8, @_diliniii and @brinthajohan launched @bipocwhn to improve health care experiences. With representation from 12 Canadian medical schools, the group is also focused on how #MedEd centres the voices and bodies of racialized and Indigenous people.

"What can we do?" is asked repeatedly, as they seek to absolve their guilt in me. I point. The Calls to Action, UNDRIP, Calls to Justice, numerous agreements, treaties, legal precedent cases. It's already out there. If anyone cares to read it.
215 Indigenous children killed. Muslim family just walking, intentionally killed. Vaccines, slowest to reach hotspots which are also predominantly racialized, low-income communities. Racism, kills. Hate, spreads. This is the real pandemic that we need to get under control.
The family of the London, Ontario attack victims have released a statement, asking the public to stand up against Islamaphobia and describing the victims as "always there giving and participating in spreading goodness." #ldnont

Ontario has failed to protect the vulnerable. Essential workers without #PaidSickDays, who can’t “stay-at-home”, are being ravaged by #COVID19 & infecting their families. The anger expressed @DrKaliBarrett is felt by all watching this injustice. #onpoli
Have learned so much over the past several months—from graphic design and optimizing bag space to the incredible people we were able to partner with and learn so much from. ❤️ Huge shoutout to the incredible team at @bipocwhn and @WHIWHCHC that made this possible!
#BlackMaternalHealthWeek — Yesterday was a huge milestone for our team! After 6 months of hard work we dropped off our first round of pregnancy care kits to our community partner @WHIWHCHC! WHIWH is a clinic dedicated to providing culturally-safe care to Black patients. /🧵
Grateful for the amazing mentors, community leaders, and trailblazers we've had the privilege to connect with and learn from. Even more grateful for the incredible team behind @bipocwhn that makes this work possible. Thank you to everyone that has supported us on this journey!❤️
Working with partners and communities with lived experience, medical students @ClaireDong8, @_diliniii and @brinthajohan founded @bipocwhn, a national, student-led organization focused on improving health care experiences and reducing disparities for BIPOC women.
"We need the voices of young organizers and individuals like the folks from the @bipocwhn and @CanadaIYAFP to be leading the way in the face of change."🙌 LOVE this! #EqualFuturesCA
Really exciting article on @bipocwhn’s interview with @CanadaIYAFP about health inequities faced by racialized and Indigenous patients, #SRHR, and youth advocacy!

#BellLetsTalk ...sounds simple right? Talking is hard to do in cultures where mental health isn’t acknowledged. Talking is hard to do when clinicians don’t understand your cultural beliefs around mental health. This is why intersectional mental health strategies are KEY 🔑.
Excited to be pitching @bipocwhn’s initiatives at the #GlobalHealthPractitionerConference! An incredible opportunity to hear from other finalists across the world and learn about their innovations in child and adolescent health. @brinthajohan @ClaireDong8

Conversations about equity and racism can be challenging and emotionally charged for multiple reasons. When we hear about the experience of others, our impulse is often to react with how their experience relates to us... (a thread)
2020 has been a whirlwind of change, to say the least. Incredibly grateful to be given this space and to be working with an amazing team to advocate for more inclusive and equitable care.
The BIPOC Women’s Health Network was started with the vision to educate, empower, and provide equitable healthcare for racialized women across Canada. We are incredibly grateful and humbled at the overwhelming national support we have received✨ THANK YOU! Catch us in 2021 🌟
