We have lost touch with our staff in Gaza, with health facilities, health workers and the rest of our humanitarian partners on the ground. This siege makes me gravely concerned for their safety and the immediate health risks of vulnerable patients. We urge immediate protection of all civilians and full humanitarian access.

International Overdose Day is a painful reminder to so many families across Ohio. As we mourn those we’ve lost and seek to help those struggling with addiction, we must keep working to #EndOverdose in our communities.

This picture for me is the most culturally forward aspect of #TheLittleMermaid production. The fact that they hired and paid black hair care professionals to properly do Halle's goddess locs as Ariel. May this become a standard onset for black actors.🙏🏾🧜🏾‍♀️

A majority of people don’t talk about: their values, their relationship with money, their childhood wounds, their vision of life together, how they’ll split up tasks of the home, or what they expect from partnership. They expect things to just work out. When they don’t, they’re hurt and confused. Have. Uncomfortable. Conversations.

If our attempts at reconciliation still require the vulnerable to bear the greatest risk or burden, then regardless of our intentions, we have not done enough of the work in our own hearts and systems to expect reciprocation.

This lesson reminded me of this other lesson. So I'm resharing it to remind myself and you, too. "Happy and sad are thick as thieves. Let them live together." #HumanismAlways 💛 xitter.cf/gradydoctor/status/121…
1/ Afternoon with a Grady elder: Me: "I heard you had a lot of visitors today. I hate I missed them." Her: "Yeah. It was mostly good." Me: "Mostly?" Her: "Mmmm hmm." *silence while watching TV* Her: *sighing* "My granddaughter got upset with me." Me: "Oh man. Why?"

How many Black lives could have been saved if police departments had the de-escalation skills of special education teachers, social workers, or mental health professionals?

Praying tomorrow brings less talk about whether or not to watch videos of Black people being murdered. Praying tomorrow brings more talkin about what we’re gonna do to stop Black people from being murdered on video. Take care of yourself and each other tonight. Love y’all.

Having a mental health diagnosis is not a crime, but incarcerating individuals living with mental health challenges, for infractions that occur as a result of untreated mental illness, due to an under-resourced system, is in effect, criminalizing mental illness. #StopSuicide

I'm still working on this project w/ @ThinkKidsWV calling on WV hospitals to release pediatric emergency room data so we can know how many kids sought urgent mental health care & what their experience looked like. Here's an update (still no data!). thinkkidswv.org/west-virgini…

I was forced to leave Afghanistan in 1999 and my nephew left last year. I found safety in the UK and realised my dream to become a doctor. He's also found safety in Sweden and is pursuing his passion to become an entrepreneur. We, refugees, are dreamers, not random numbers.
