Surrounded by a tribe of loved ones last night, I was honored to be inducted into @NPSD Hall of Fame aka the Knights of Honor ceremony. @NPSD is one of PA’s largest public school districts and educates ~13k students annually. I hope my story inspires students to change the world!

I’m happy to announce the 6 month results from the SECOND @UNOSNews policy surrounding the elimination of Black race to diagnose and manage kidney disease. This policy required all US transplant centers review their waitlists and modify time for qualifying Black individuals.

The look on Congresswoman @RepRobinKelly’s race when you are meeting about legislation that will affect dialysis care for Black patients and she realizes you are a @NMQF 40 under 40 awardee (a program she started) 🙏🏾#goodtrouble #fightingthegoodfight #inequitykills

The 11th Kidney Health Advocacy Day is here! @KidneyPatients & @ASNKidney’s #KidneyAdvocates talked with Senate/House leaders to request more funding to improve outcomes for all persons living with #kidney disease! Got to check out cherry blossoms too!🌸

Headed to speak at an AI meeting on the topic of #race and #eGFR and I’m SURE I’ll hear this comment again. I’ll be laughing my way to national policy changes to end #racebased practice in nephrology. #moretocome

Today I had so much fun teaching about #kidneydisease to K to 3rd grade girls. They were so intrigued and asked so many good questions! Thanks to the Philly @linksinc chapter for the invitation and to my sis @FlorenciaPolite for the referral🙏🏾 #representationmatters #nephrolove

Thank you @iamzo33 for sharing your powerful journey of living with kidney disease last night. We appreciate your tireless efforts to raise awareness of kidney disease and it’s treatments in the Black community and beyond. #healthequity #KidneyWk

It was truly nostalgic to present at @BrighamWomens Internal Medicine Grand Rounds last week. I wish I could say this “controversy” of using race in #eGFR equations is a thing of the past. #Bullying of those pushing for change continues to occur on all levels. This MUST stop🗣

Had a jammed pack day meeting with Congressional leaders to support the Living Donor Protection Act. This Act will protect kidney donors from discrimination by insurance companies because they donate! Thank you to all of the PA Representatives and Senators for their support!🙌🏾

From taking care of kidney transplant patients together @BrighamWomens a decade ago to presenting on #kidneytransplant inequities at #NKFClinicals, friends who support each other can move mountains! Proud to know you @DineeMD 🥰🥰🥰

How to be a dope journal editor-in-chief:
1. Attend lectures/webinars/panels about topics on race and racism in health care
2. Invite forward-thinking experts to write REAL review pieces on the effects of racism on health
3. Publish dope journal cover art

I'm literally fighting to get insurance companies to approve #Farxiga for my patients with non-diabetic #kidney #disease. Like the denial letters acknowledge @US_FDA recommendations for treatment and STILL refuse to cover. This is wild...

Tired of the false narratives that were perpetuated about race and #eGFR equations, we wrote this @NatRevNeph review to tell the REAL history. Check it out to learn how racism (not race) is the root of racial inequities in nephrology. #inequitykills https://go.nature.com/3096oxO

As of last week, @PennMedicine is now reporting the NEW race-free CKD-EPI 2021 equation! How many other institutions have made this change? If not, are there any barriers to implementation? #inequitykills
November 24, 2024 at 4:05 AM
Looking forward to speaking about #healthequity and #kidneydisease at #HLTH2021 this week along with Joel Ackerman, CFO, @DaVita and Robert Sepucha, CEO @crickethealth. Register today --> https://www.hlth.com/event/register

Honored to contribute to the NEW 2021 CKD-EPI #raceef="/hashtag/race-free" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#race-free #eGFR equation in our latest research published in @NEJM today. I learned a ton about equations. Importantly, the main lesson is that #race should NOT be incorporated into #biological tools. https://bit.ly/3i3nfrY

Watching this fantastic live #Juneteenth conversation @Penn
@erikahjames: Can Black people be racist?
@DrIbram: Yes. A Black INDIVIDUAL can be racist if they are fighting to uphold racist/white supremacist structures
And yes he named names. I'm sure we all can... #inequitykills

Last academic talk of the year was TODAY! I have a whole new appreciation for academic advocacy after giving 30 talks/panels this year. Change IS coming (watch 😉). This art from my 2016 trip to Cuba featuring @BarackObama inspires me EVERYDAY🙏🏾 #Yeswecan #Yeswedid #Inequitykills
