1) #womeninmedicine A Thread: Yesterday I wore this green suit to open up the #BE22 Women Physicians CME Conference. I felt powerful in it, I felt confident in it, & I paired it with some new @kikipriceshoes alternative energy heels. I LOVE a brightly colored suit😍 👇

2) A women not attending the #BE22 conf stopped me on my way back to my room She told me she ❤️the suit; but she could never pull it off. She asked me where I wore it, & I told her I wore it to open up the conference this morning. She said "oh my gosh, I could NEVER do that!"👇🏻

3) Here is my response: "I organize this conf. #BE22 is full of amazing 👩🏻‍⚕️, all here bc they are exhausted & work in systems that in general do not support women. They are here bc they do not hear messages that say they can be exactly who they are, & can show up as women."👇🏻

4)"They are told they cannot wear things like this on stages. They are told they are too much, they are too quiet, too loud, not enough brave or too brave. I wanted to wear this suit & if there was ONE place I could wear it is #BE22. I am wearing the suit for ALL women.”👇🏻

5) The woman hugged me.

We do not let others define us. We find the courage to define ourselves and we go forward.
