"Somebody doesn't get away with an individual act of racism unless the institutional environment allows them impunity for it." @joannelu @DecoloniseMSF npr.org/sections/goats…
A long overdue conversation @MSF 🙏 All of that remains so much window-dressing as long as there are no concrete actions taken towards behavior change, at individual and organisation levels. @joannelu @NPR #stopdiscrimination npr.org/sections/goats…
From white savior images plastered on NY hq walls to saving anti-venom for “expats” in a South Sudan clinic, the racism I witnessed working @msf must be eradicated. Grateful for continued coverage of this endemic issue @joannelu
Doctors Without Borders is renowned for providing medical aid in some of the most challenging emergency zones around the world – including Ukraine. But lately it's been grappling with another kind of challenge: racism within its ranks. n.pr/3Pka2dp
Lots of people worked really hard on this story. While it’s centered on MSF, it’s indicative of a larger conversation happening in global health and development.

Doctors Without Borders @MSF addresses charges of #racism within its ranks. This comes after current and former staffers reported hundreds of instances of abuse and discrimination to journalists, by @joannelu npr.org/sections/goats… via @NPRGoatsandSoda #GlobalHealth
I recently had the pleasure of talking to @CKyobutungi of @aphrc about her experience with gender and geographic representation at the highest levels of global health orgs...a little progress, but still so far to go! @NPRGoatsandSoda @GlobalHlth5050
"When you're the only Black woman on a board, you feel like an imposter. You feel intimidated. So then you're dealing with that pressure on top of everything else you're responsible for." @CKyobutungi @NPR @NPRGoatsandSoda @joannelu @aphrc @WOBUK npr.org/sections/goats…
"There's a failure on the part of the system that allows some people to get obscenely rich, while others do not have the basic commodities to survive from one day to the next" Inequality is more than just unfair, it's dangerous. More via @joannelu: npr.org/sections/goats…

Oxfam says the rich got richer in the pandemic, and the wealth gap is killing the poor, reports @joannelu @NPRGoatsandSoda npr.org/sections/goats…
Oxfam says if the world were equal, at least 21,000 fewer people could be dying each day -- because the rich wouldn't be able to get quite so rich and governments would have more funds to stop "economic violence." Why that's a controversial assertion: npr.org/sections/goats…
10 global crises to pay attention to in 2022, according to 'The New Humanitarian' npr.org/sections/goats…
My latest for @NPRGoatsandSoda! @schmidtnyc was a delight, even as we discussed, well, the least delightful things happening in the world this year. But they’re important, as is the work of @newhumanitarian! Give them a follow if you don’t already.
Every year, @NewHumanitarian compiles a list of global crises to look out for. Editor Josephine Schmidt shares her worries and hopes for 2022. "I look forward to upending the idea that humanitarian news is only about what's broken," she says. npr.org/sections/goats…
If you could✨wish✨ for one thing for the world🌍in 2022, what would it be? When we asked Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai this question, she said: “My wish is the same as always: I want to live in a world where every girl👧 can learn and lead.” npr.org/sections/goats…
How $6 billion from Elon Musk could feed millions on the brink of famine npr.org/sections/goats…
My latest!
Elon Musk reportedly made $36 billion in a single day. What if he gave a sixth of that to the World Food Programme? We ask experts in global hunger and humanitarian aid how much of a change $6 billion could bring. npr.org/sections/goats…
huge day at @npr, y'all - we've finally gone full sentence case in our headlines! watch out, modern internet!
Peter Singer, the Australian bioethicist, is the winner of the 2021 Berggruen Prize. The $1 million award is given to an individual who has made major contributions to advancing ideas that shape the world. His idea for the prize money: give it all away. npr.org/sections/goats…
"We're not trying to be unreasonable. We're trying to be optimistic and audacious because that's what the moment calls for." -Paul Farmer, MD, PhD #VaccineEquityNow Read: ow.ly/Kek950G02i2
The Taliban rule raises many questions for aid organizations in Afghanistan. Great article by one of our primary writers, @joannelu , writing for @NPR
"We are #humanitarians. We don't know any other way, says Mahla. Mahla says @CARE hopes to resume services soon & even scale up its work." Thanks @joannelu for the great interview.#Afganistan #HumanitarianCrisis @NPR npr.org/sections/goats…
