Black people,

I am a one of the few Black psychiatrists that exist in our nation and I have a message for us:

Yes we are strong.

But it is IMPOSSIBLE to be strong ALL THE TIME.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to be strong ALL THE TIME.

WHEN oppression feels constant…and is constant. @DrAyanaJordan @DrJessIsomMDMPH @drkarinn @DrKMSimon @ADocNamedDani

1/ Often, people don't care unless everyone else suddenly cares. I heard TWO heartbreaking stories this week. Apparently #AhmaudArbery is "newsworthy" enough to share but #BreonnaTaylor isn't. @DrAyanaJordan @uche_blackstock @DrOniBee @choo_ek 2/ #BreonnaTaylor is a Black woman and EMT who was murdered by the police, like #AhmaudArbery, but not while out and about, WHILST SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED. @BlackWomenOWN @BlackPsychiatry @apablackcaucus @ADocNamedDani
