As a Black woman physician, mother of 3, business owner, wife, friend, daughter-and I'm sure there's some other hats I missed-I have to walk into 2026 with a different vibe.

I’m done sacrificing my health, time, and boundaries for systems that don’t protect me/us.

These aren’t resolutions.
They’re non-negotiables.

✔️ Time audits
✔️ Paid expertise
✔️ Evidence-based rest
✔️ Preventive care for myself
✔️ Loud advocacy
✔️ Sustainable income
✔️ Less martyrdom, more longevity

If this resonates — it’s not just you.
And no, you’re not asking for too much.

Save this. Share it. Let’s normalize choosing yourself!!

Midlife body lessons I wish someone told me sooner👇🏽
• Eat enough
• Lift weights
• Be consistent
• Hormones matter
• Managing sleep & stress is everything
• The scale is a liar

Strong > skinny
Informed > ashamed
Sustainable > extreme

You are welcome

There’s a claim that DEI hurts medicine

The data say otherwise

Patients treated by women physicians
have lower mortality
and fewer readmissions

Surgical outcomes show the same pattern

Patients of women surgeons
have lower postoperative death rates
and fewer major complications

We are over half of the population
Yet women remain
under 40% of physicians

Black physicians represent
only 5–6% of the workforce

Black women physicians
approximately 3%

Undermining DEI doesn’t protect quality

It limits access
to clinicians linked to better outcomes

DEI doesn’t harm medicine

Underrepresentation does

I'll keep this short

Let’s review:

🟢 NORMAL:
• Clear, creamy, stretchy, lotiony… pick a texture like it’s a yogurt aisle.
• A lil’ something-something in your underwear by bedtime.
• Changes during the month because hormones are doing their Beyoncé costume changes.

🔴 NOT NORMAL:
• Itching like you have ants marching in formation.
• A smell that could legally be classified as a weapon.
• Burning, irritation, or discharge with neon colors.
• Anything that makes you say “this ain’t my usual.”

PLEASE STOP PUTTING THESE IN YOUR VA**NA:
❌ Garlic
❌ Vicks
❌ Lemon juice
❌ Yogurt tubes
❌ Jade eggs
❌ TikTok trends
Your va**na is not a charcuterie board, a smoothie, or a crystal shop.

1. Hepatitis B is up to 100x more infectious than HIV.
You can catch it through blood, body fluids, and microscopic amounts of blood during birth — which is why babies are at the highest risk.

2. If a baby gets Hep B and isn’t protected at birth, up to 90% will develop lifelong, chronic infection.
Chronic Hep B = liver damage, liver failure, and liver cancer. This isn’t a “they’ll grow out of it” situation.

3. Most people who have Hepatitis B don’t even know it!
You can feel perfectly fine and still pass it to a newborn. The birth dose protects your baby even if no one realized you’re positive yet. Transmission? Think personal items like razors, toothbrushes, nail clippers,tattoos, piercings. Hep B can live up to 7 days even on dried surfaces.

4. The birth dose is time-sensitive. “Waiting until the first pediatrician visit” is the health equivalent of trying to put on a seatbelt after the crash-OK admittedly dramatic but I'm trying to drive a point home.

5. Hep B has no cure — but it’s preventable.
That tiny shot your baby gets in the hospital? That’s the armor. That’s the shield. That’s the difference between “chronic lifelong illness” and “totally avoidable.”

6. Bonus: The vaccine is one of the safest newborn vaccines ever created.
Over 30+ years of use, millions of babies protected-including by you!, and zero credible evidence of harm. It’s safe. It works. It saves lives.

⸻

⚠️ Final Note
I will never forget witnessing the death of a 24-year-old young girl from Hep B liver failure. She wasn't vaccinated and didn't not have to die. It was then that I realized how important it is we respect viruses and vaccinate.

Unfortunately, we cannot currently trust our national Health & Human Services leadership to prioritize evidence-based care — so please talk to your doctor (hopefully one with some sense).

Not broke.
Just in the OR.
Because unlike you, I can’t risk a chipped nail… falling into someone’s abdomen.
We’re different.

I’m scrubbed, gloved, sterile, and about to safely deliver a human.

So while you’re worried about acrylics, I’m worried about arteries.
Priorities.

The only chips I care about are biopsies. But go off, Mr. Manicure inspector.

Shout out to the girls who work with their hands and still make that coin.

My kids may hear me say 💩, D@mn, or even F .
But they’ll never hear me…

❌ confuse “tradition” with “oppression”
❌ use religion to justify cruelty
❌ call a human being “illegal”
❌ mock another culture or language
❌ disrespect someone’s pronouns
❌ normalize misogyny or racism as humor
❌ treat therapy like it’s a weakness
❌ deny our privilege
❌ act like inequality doesn’t exist

and fyi research says people who swear often have a larger vocabulary and more emotional intelligence.

I haven’t personally read the studies-but I'm gonna run with it. 🥴😉🤣

Colorful vocabulary? Absolutely.
Raising little humans who lead with humanity, empathy, and awareness?
Non-negotiable.

At least I’m not (purposely) raising as****es. 💁🏽‍♀️✨

Ladies, let’s clear something up today before someone’s son gets his feelings hurt.

Your va**na does not get loose.
It doesn’t stretch out like old sweatpants from college.
It is not the scrunchie you’ve had since the 90s.

Your va**na is a whole MUSCLE.
A biological Beyoncé.
She stretches, she adapts, she rebounds, she’s elite.

And yes, she can push out a 7-pound baby and still snap back quicker than your ex after you block him.

So when people say, ‘Oh, she had a baby, she’s gonna be loose,’
I’m like…
No, sweetheart.
Your ego is loose.
Her pelvic floor?
Probably stronger that your shapewear on Thanksgiving day.

Now—can pelvic floor muscles weaken? Sure.
Just like arms, abs, or that lower back you keep injuring by doing absolutely nothing.
But loose?
No.
She’s not falling out.
She’s not dragging behind you at Walmart.
She’s not clocking out of her job.

She just wants hydration, proper hormones, and maybe a set of Kegels done correctly
—NOT while you’re driving through Starbucks, ma’am.

So stop spreading misinformation.
Start spreading pelvic floor awareness.
And remember:
Your va**na is resilient, responsive, and classy.
High performance.
Luxury.
Elite.

Please share so no one else has to get their feelings hurt

My grandmother was named Louise Phillips and she was a God-fearing woman. Whenever I didn't know how to make a decision, treat people, or respond to adversity she would always remind me "to do unto others".

why can't we do that for black birthing people?

The state of my people's health makes me cry.

and I am very clear about MY people because 2 videos in as many days is too many. and these are the ones we just happen to see.

we are in a crisis.

Seriously, yall. How do we protect our Black Birthing Mothers? I'm listening and NEED to know your thoughts ⬇️


video from

eta:i had to sneak into the bathroom cause everyone is sleep.no, im not using the bathroom 😒

I rarely jump on these videos, but this is some BS.

Yes, women come in active labor and it is uncomfortable.

But no, this is not how you should be treated Never. Ever. Ever.

This is why we are where we are in women's health.

Here is recording her own book, The Empowered Hysterectomy. It was wonderful to welcome in such a great author with a natural gift for narration.
