In honor of Claudia Jones' 108th birthday this week, for #CiteBlackWomenSunday, we are revisiting Carole Boyce Davies' biography of Claudia Jones, Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones (2008). 
This iconic text locates Claudia Jones within and beyond the politics of the Communist Party, demonstrated in her commitment to including the domestic economic exploitation of Black women as part of a larger fight against imperialism and colonialism.
According to Davies, "For Claudia Jones, imperialism did not reside solely in its economic-based and international manifestations but in the way it manifested at the domestic and local levels in which black women were the most vulnerable."

2/ I am indebted to so many for this piece--but most especially, my patients. They are so much more than my muses. They are the ones that force me to confront myself & strive for something better; my greatest teachers; & are my true north when the why gets hard to see or remember
3/ This piece started as a tweet--a reflection from our first @CPSolvers AntiRacism in medicine podcast. So very grateful to @RheaBoydMD & @RRHDr for their wisdom & generosity of spirit which served as the prompt for my reflection & the words that followed

2/ Community-based doulas are birth workers closely tied to the communities they serve. They offer support of birthing people throughout pregnancy, labor, & postpartum AND provide additional services/ resources aimed at addressing social and structural health inequities.
3/ I work w/ co-author & community-based doula @uhkti_ayomida & other birth workers on policy reform to advance maternal health equity. This past year we have focused on policy reform for the doula workforce (e.g reimbursement reform, anti-racism focused training requirement)
There is a tweet going around from someone about how hard it is to find 5 women he admires. Not a great look. #womenalsoknowhistory But Iâm also not sure if itâs a bot or a troll, so not retweeting it here. 2/
Instead, it gives me a good opportunity to highlight some amazing work by womenâand specifically black women. In the past year I read or re-read a great number of incredible books by black women. Just five of my favorites include: 3/
