At my vaccine appointment, the nurse asked me what category I qualify under.
I told him.
He says, “Hmm, isn’t this a French last name?”
I nod.
He says, “Huh. And you still qualify and get benefits even though you aren’t full-blooded?”
🤨🤨🤨

I’m okay. I had already mentally prepared myself for something like this. I do every time I’m seeking medical care.
I’ll have more to say after the weekend, but it’s my birthday and I’m trying to focus on my joy. 💛
I appreciate the outrage & support. Muting until Monday. 🤗

My family has COVID & the health authority told my mom that if her lips turn blue to go to the hospital. She’s Black. Her lips will not turn blue. This is how public health sets us up for poor health outcomes + nudges us towards death by operating with whiteness as the norm.
Wow thx all 💖 She got a pulse oximeter long before they got sick because she knows the drill, being a Black health scientist. ❗️Anti-Black racism is a public health issue. We’re ok but a Black person I know who could use some help has a GoFundMe here >>> gofundme.com/f/black-alumni…
