#DNRTulane is rocking my timeline.

Real talk, as a residency APD, I debated whether I should comment. I don’t have these problems in my current role, so maybe I should stay quiet.

But I read the entire court doc and cried. Cuz as a Black woman in academia, I am Dr. Dennar. This could easily be me, at any point in my career, and I would want someone to speak up for me. If we’re being honest, there’s things I’m not ready to talk about in my career that already HAVE happened before I came to Nebraska, and I had no one to speak up for me.

I am still having trouble processing all of the emotions right now.

Didn’t sleep last night, too anxious about the needle...did I tell you I didn’t like needles? Never have...I’m nervous before every vaccine and blood draw.

Spent 15 mins in my car anxious before going in... When I got in I went straight to sit for my injection. Very nice nurse asked me a bunch of questions about my risk factors, prior allergic reactions, and possible covid symptoms.

Then she got down to business. I started talking to the camera because I got nervous again.

America, the country founded on genocide of Indigenous people with an economy built on the backs of enslaved Black people, has a racist past, a racist present, and presidential hope for a racist future. Attacking anti-racism teaching isn’t about stopping diversity training. It is about silencing Black people who dared to speak in White spaces. It is about putting them back in their sub-human place. It is about maintaining White Supremacy as the rule of law. It is about the privilege to demonstrate hatred for Black bodies without consequences.

This is one of my favorite things to talk about: the intersection of #hcsm and advocacy. Your voice matters! Thanks @SNMA #amec2020 #AMECOnline for the invitation to join this amazing conference. Won’t post the whole talk but wanted to highlight a few real people doing it well. First off, why should we be on #SoMe as healthcare professionals? We’ve seen the meme, where Karen on Facebook makes a big splash. I updated it to include 2020’s politicians who fuel misinformation. The dialogue NEEDS our voices as sources of credibility and expertise. #amec2020

Just finished reading/listening to @WilliamUryGTY’s “The Power of a Positive No”. This book is fantastic and an easy read. I recommend for anyone who may encounter crucial conversations where you have to say no (but preserve the relationship). #DocsWhoRead 1/many The book is written in three chapters, each taking a Yes/No/Yes approach to the difficult conversation. @WilliamUryGTY narrates the @audible_com version himself.

Happening now: Dr. @JulieSilverMD sharing a plan to achieve next-level leadership #SheLeadsHealthcare #BeEthical Say yes immediately 20% of the time if it is your sweet spot. But even when you say yes, think about how much time this yes will take. The other 80% need some thought and sometimes you just need to say NO. @JulieSilverMD #SheLeadsHealthcare #BeEthical
