In just the 3.5 years at my little hashtag woke liberal bastion of Yale I’ve had to sit through:
- three nondisabled students cast as Richard
- two new plays that cast nondisabled actors to star in physically disabled roles, both positing disability as tragedy (cont…)

- one word premier of a new work at Yale Rep where a sighted actor was cast as a blind man, and that character’s only purpose was to stumble into shit and make the abled laugh
- two shows there the actors donned speech impediments. (Cont…)

- someone who comes on stage once and is sassy
- the mother of a lead character

A second generation “paddy immigrant” racial issues have been part of my family culture. I am aware I receive the award as a white ally in a privileged position and of the importance of elevating the black and brown voices of those around me.
I am dedicated to using my leadership position to reduce healthcare inequalities, raise awareness and promote anti-racism. It is also important for me to say I do not get it right all the time I am learning, educating myself and seeking to create space. #doingthework #antiracism
1/ I am a third-year medical student. Yesterday, I was assigned a new patient. I hadn’t met them yet, but knew they had presented with liver-related symptoms. In preparation for morning rounds, I flipped through their chart and checked their lab work.
2/ I also took a few minutes to review the physical findings of liver disease—I scanned through pictures on Google of spider nevi, ecchymosis, and palmar erythema.
3/ Satisfied that I was prepared, I set off. I found the patient’s bed, knocked on the wall, and drew back the curtain.
The patient is black. I had only seen photos of the physical findings on white skin.
