Today, I want to talk what it's like when I see, sense & feel that a more senior Black woman is attempting to sabatoge me and assassinate my character. Aš š§µ
It all started here. I joined @PublicHealth in 2018 and was elected chair in 2019. As can be seen, I was SO excited that the members of this section believed in my leadership enough to elect me to this
So, apparently I'm Chair-Elect of the Epidemiology Section of APHA! I'm speechless right now! Thank y'all so much!! pic.twitter.com/SiEHj2OTva

Since I cross paths with very few other Black women epidemiologists in these academic streets, I was looking forward to working with the Black women leaders in this section.
1st mtg as chair-elect of the Epidemiology section of APHA and I'm *stunned* that I was elected b/c I just joined APHA last yr. & people usually work their way up the ranks for 10+ years before taking this role. And our section has 3k people. I'm HONORED!\u2764 pic.twitter.com/GvXtfaXaHv

I started observing that the communication to me was minimal, there was little documentation on processes & procedures, and I was (and felt like) an outsider here. I also felt bad vibes, and tried to set up a mtg to check in on communication & leadership styles. It never happened
Then, our annual meeting happened, & I had been struggling with what I experienced as condescending communication and unwelcoming culture. I was like this can't be right, let me contact @PublicHealth staff for some support.

Let's take the trad perspective for a second and assume same-sex romantic relationships are morally wrong because they do not fulfill the purpose of sex, procreation. Even so, even in those same sex bonds, there is a natural and good thing being sought after, even if incorrectly.
Even if the primary purpose of sex, from the trad perspective, is not being fulfilled, other natural aspects of the sexual act are: physical solace and the comfort of another person's embrace, and the tenderness and kindness lovers express to each other through sex.
So that even if one assumes gay sex is unnatural, it is only so because it seeks through unnatural means to live out a perfectly natural goal: love, mutual enjoyment of the lovers, the generosity and tears of the bedroom.
True perversion is desire turned inward, locked in itself
Perversion is sexual desire with NO connection to nature, because it is not externally attracted to other people, but inwardly fixed on one's own particular state of mind. It may take on characteristics of natural sexual desire, but only incidentally.
#MedEd is showing itās true colors yet again, with the abrupt transition in leadership in which the program director, Dr. Dennar was forcibly resigned from her position as PD without justifiable cause but ironically after she filed a lawsuit šš¾
Hey #AcademicMedicine & #MedTwitter, does anyone notice a pattern here?

Although each story may be considered n=1 (therefore easy to dismiss) collectively they tell a story that no one should be dismissing. #WomenInMedicine #BlackWomenInMedicine #BlackMenInMedicine #BeEthical pic.twitter.com/CDrKH0mCB7
Iām frankly tired. But again I speak up. This is completely unacceptable. #DNRTulane
CW: //violence
Dr. Dennar faced misogynoir on top of interpersonal and systemic violence. Iām disgusted at the levels to this #DNRTulane
As someone who interviewed at this program, I was drawn by Tulaneās service to minority populations in a place hit by one of the worst natural disasters this country has seen. I was personally moved by my interview day. #DNRTulane
But this news is antithetical to everything I stand for and what I previously believed Tulane to stand for. Yet another Black woman has been forced out of a leadership position due to discriminatory practices. Legal intervention was required. #DNRTulane
