This is my dear friend, Nakita.

Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.

She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x) ImageImageImageImage
She loved a good Afrobeats and Caribbean music party, and was even more excited when Haitian music got its time to shine 🇭🇹💃🏿. We danced, laughed, and learned together.

Nakita was also so earnest. She had the keen ability to really challenge you in deep conversation and (2/x)
ask those "hard" questions. That made it easy to open up to her, and I always admired her thoughts.

Nakita also was an advocate. She was an active member in SNMA during medical school and our GW White Coats for Black Lives. We protested together in 2020 in DC 📢🪧. (3/x)

"With a hand to aid and a shoulder to lament
Making space for explanations and dissent 
It's time we cease exalting the torment
For residents' health is an issue urgent

As residents we get bombarded with resources & info abt “wellness”.

But there’s often a mismatch between institutional discourses of #residentwellness & and learner-generated discourses.

We often point out what wellness is NOT. So what IS “wellness”?

Welcome to my thread 💌
I research discourses of wellness in medical education using critical social science methods. We look at how language & social practices reproduce & legitimize the way we understand specific phenomena. How do “wellness” discourses perpetuate cultural norms of the “good resident”?
But when I talk to co-residents about what actually contributes to our wellbeing, it’s harder to point to something specific — & something that we can change within our programs. Here are some thoughts ~~ would love to hear yours ✨
