You did. Which was the main point.

Sigh.

It’s been a tough few weeks working the Grady inpatient service. Grateful for patients like you who remind me that being so visibly a mother—or so visibly a caregiving parent—is more than okay.

Sometimes? It’s great.

Yeah.

It all got me thinking about certain aspects of who we are and how that shows up in our professional lives. Which, in this instance, is being, well, a caring parent.

Or, for me, a mom.

It’s funny how conflicted I used to feel about bringing my whole self to work. But not any more.

Nope.

When I asked how the night went you gave the tiniest of shrugs.

You: “I’m making it.”
Me: “What does that mean?”
You: *shrugs again*

You turned in bed a bit and I saw you grimace. It was fleeting but I saw it.

You were not okay.

4 Black women full professors—oh, and also a program director, 2 deans, an endowed chair and a vice chair—waiting for an elevator.*

Have you ever met someone briefly and felt like a meaningful friendship awaited you? I met Ashley McMullen during a trip to UCSF--a short meeting amongst multiple meetings. Some connections are just meant to be.

Happy birthday to the best podcast cohost ever-- Ashley McMullen! Love you, sis!

Happiness is being out for an evening walk with your pup and meeting this stunning group of graduating students from Emory PA school. The future is bright, y’all! 🤎☀️
