I am incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award & thank you so much to @carrie_haverty for the nomination. Having you as a mentor, colleague & ally has meant so much.
But if I can say something else, I am also incredibly frustrated at our NSGC community #NSGC20 #GCchat

1. Ambition is not a bad thing. Ambition should be valued as a positive.

@twitherington #NSGC20 I am not my company. You may disagree with some policies but at the end of the day we are all trying to do good work.

Psychosocial counseling is still a part of what I do. Even if I don't have direct face-to-face patient interaction I still am utilizing my GC skills and it doesn't make me less of a counselor by moving from clinical to non-clinical.

Ready for our state of the society address with @gillianhoo!!! #NSGC20
Gillian highlights the challenges of this year with COVID, social and racial injustice and general uncertainty. And we've had to face all of this head on knowing that inaction reflects the biggest mistake we could make. #NSGC20
But it's been a test of our skills and training. We've had to shift, pivot, flex, and understand what we can and can't control. Through it all, our strength has come from our incredible growing energetic community of GCs. #NSGC20
Next plenary: More than just raising our voices: confronting injustices in patient care moderated by @ERamosSD! #NSGC20
Shawneequa Callier highlights some issues we've been discussing: lagging diversity w/i the scientific community which then translates to inequitable policies, guidelines and access. #NSGC20
SC highlights how as more patients were tested in diverse populations we were able to reduce the VUS rate for BRCA in non-White groups. #NSGC20
What's at stake here? Black women are less likely to participate in genetic risk assessment & counseling. Less likely than white women to know about risk reducing therapies. #NSGC20
Black women also have less knowledge about risk factors for breast cancer & perceive themselves to be at lower risk for developing it. All of this contributes to the fact that Black women in the US are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women. #NSGC20
