Humility is driven into you as a trainee. I tempered my expertise for so long that I didn't even tweet until after my postdoc.

Well, dagnabbit, I AM AN EXPERT on #racism, #BlackMentalHealth, + #TheTalk, and of my 40+ (!!!) media appearances last month, here are my #TopTen faves:

Loved talking to @AP's @kat__stafford for this @nytimes piece on #BlackActivism:

nytimes.com/aponline/2020/…

And what about police tactics worsening #PublicHealth during the protests? Check out my commentary here in this @FastCompany piece:

Although protesting and anger writ large gets a bed rep from folks, colleagues and I demonstrate how these forms of #Activism are related to improved #MentalHealth in this @iamwellandgood piece:

.@atmcwilliams brought the 🔥🔥🔥 for this @Slate piece on #RacialTrauma and how we as clinicians can move the field to reconceptualize #PTSD:

Across the pond in London, I was able to discuss the impact of #RacialViolence on #BlackFamilies with @thetimes podcast:

When having #TheTalk, "...the conversation doesn't have to be unique and scary". See more advice on reducing #RacialStress in this @WomensHealthMag article:

And White parents have to have #TheTalk with their kids too! Here's some advice from this @webmd interview:

Most folks find it hard to talk about racism, so how do you integrate #AntiRacism into your daily life? Check out what colleagues and I had to say about it in this @EliteDaily article:

What about when the kiddos have questions themselves? In addition to responding live on TV (!) or fielding the best darn questions on Earth in a town hall, other experts and I were able to respond to youth questions in this @hechingerreport Q & A here:

hechingerreport.org/experts-answer…

...and finally, I had a blast with my good pals over at @GreaterGoodSC to talk about Starbursts, otherwise known as my favorite euphemism for #RacialDiscrimination, in this interview and recorded series:

(Lies: BONUS!) Did you catch our neighbor-to-the-North's @EDUCATEDpod with ya girl? We discussed the role and toll of #AntiBlackRacism, #TheTalk with kids, the meaning behind #BlackLivesMatter, and much more! Listen to the #ICantBreathe episode here:
