I literally have no election stress tonight. Met with a senior dean & a director to advocate for a peer. Wrote a 4 page executive report with 20+ references that was just emailed to 6 top brass leadership. No, it is not about loyalty. It is about correct application of standards
#MedTwitter is likely aware of my propensity to write detailed reports with a multitude of references emailed directly to deans. If there is a top, and if I am a tuition paying student or even just a concerned citizen, you’re gonna hear from me if someone is misusing rules.
My great grandfather, a Justice in the High Court, figuratively threw the book at a white barrister in Colonial times, telling him to learn the law. For standing up to a white British man as a brown Muslim man in colonial times he got the title Khan Bahadur. (Brave)
And my mom, as a new immigrant & grad student, disagreed with rules denying Urdu or Farsi as relevant to her study of English Literature, forcing her to use credits to take French or German.
She wrote a report to the administration and got the rules/decision overturned.

I never lost a hearing when I represented the Commonwealth. I came armed with a mountain of evidence and I could bury a pair of lawyers, all without an attorney by my side. Their cockiness soon became scrambling then ad hominem. All signs of trying to evade impending defeat.
I love being sized up wrong and underestimated.
It is my secret weapon.
Overconfidence + underprepared + thinking one can bully or twist narrative or manufacture optics out of accurate and precise application of standards is a recipe for losing your case.

I was a Girl Scout too.
Always prepared.
Fearless.
Stepping outside one’s comfort zone/accept no boundaries
Principled.
Helping others.
Make the world a better place.
I can take care of me and other people too.

It is so important how a girl grows up, what female role models she has
if she believes she can stand alone on a platform of evidence & standards
reject so-called “female” use of tears, escalating drama, playing victim, manipulating narrative, aligning with patriarchal power
