Very proud of my latest piece for @NPR Being a body-positive doctor in the age of Ozempic 👩‍⚕️🩺 npr.org/sections/health-shot…

I try to be a body-positive doctor. It's getting harder in the age of Ozempic

A physician decided to stop talking to patients about weight, and focus on health instead. But the new weight-loss drugs forced her to rethink how to help patients without feeding into stigma.

I am lost for words. Sky News reporting the Justice for Chris Kaba march as a tribute walk for the Queen's death. Disgraceful.

Please remember how outraged you are about violence right now when I share about poverty, racism in healthcare, and the prison industrial complex this week.

It’s actually way more authentic to have several emotions happening at the same time. And for those emotions to actually contradict each other. But most people don’t have permission to see this because of programming that says you’re only allowed to feel one way at a time.

Discerning who is actually ready to do the work from those who only want to sit around and have philosophical debates about the work, will help you tremendously.

I’m very focused on myself. I’m conserving my energy by swerving on people who don’t come correct. And I love it here.

your heart language is the only language that matters—find folks that are fluid in yours.

I’m happy folk are happy but this is also very precarious. Mainstreaming Juneteenth means there’s now massive amt of inaccurate messaging—“it marks end of slavery”—and its very clear its being used to push a false idea of “progress” instead of a call to dismantle white supremacy

our rush to be first, to be right, is removing compassion and empathy from our daily discourse.

Pray for what you desire. And also, remember to pray for greater faith, patience, wisdom, and strength to properly navigate the liminal space [the path and process] leading you to what you desire.

Highly sensitive people (HSP) pick up the nuances that most people have a blind spot to. It’s not just in your head; please trust what you observe and discern.
