Traveling to speak on Black fatherhood and neurodiversity.
Quick reminder:
Not every child acting out in public needs discipline.
Some are sensory overloaded.
Some are autistic.
Some have ADHD.
Lead with empathy, not judgment.

That is operational leadership at one of the most respected hospitals in the world.
Congrats Dr. Alia, Brown, Mannoh, Enumah & Shoyombo.

We chase breakthroughs.
But most growth is boring repetition.
Routines reduce stress because they remove constant decision-making.
Small habits. Daily. Consistent.
That’s the real upgrade.

Community health didn’t start as a policy debate.
It started as community action.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Black Panther Party launched:
– Free breakfast programs
– Community clinics
– Sickle cell awareness initiatives
– Patient advocacy

DJ Michael “5000” Watts helped shape Houston hip-hop and always showed love back to the people.
His family shared he passed from torsades de pointes, a dangerous heart rhythm that can cause sudden cardiac arrest.
Honoring his legacy. 🕊️

Lung cancer.
Stomach cancer.
Cervical cancer.
Together, these three make up nearly half of all cancers caused by preventable risks.
The power to prevent them is already in our hands.

We often honor scientific contributions long after the work is done.
But some of the most important voices in medicine and public health are still here, still educating, still answering questions.
Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett is one of them.
Hidden figures don’t have to stay hidden.

If you felt unsettled after this weekend, that reaction is valid.
This isn’t about arguing or taking sides. It’s about mental health and choosing responses that help us stay grounded rather than overwhelmed.

The United States withdraws from the World Health Org.
WHO coordinates disease surveillance, outbreak response, and global health guidance.
Public health experts warn that reduced coordination can delay early warnings and weaken response systems.

Pro tip: If you are attending a rally or action, wear a N95 mask & bring extras to give to others.
High quality masks can serve triple-duty: they prevent you and others from getting sick from airborne viruses, they keep your face warm in the freezing cold, & they can protect against surveillance.

Cancer survival has improved.
The 5 year survival rate across all cancers is now about 70 percent.
This progress came from early detection, research, clinical trials, vaccines, immunotherapy, and better treatments.
Cancer is complex. Progress looks like survival improving, not a single cure.

Monday for me meant choosing learning over arguing.
I spent the day learning more about Dr. King instead of engaging in online conflict. Sometimes that’s the healthiest option

Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. on the King Holiday.
He spoke about healthcare, labor, and dignity long before we had the language for health equity.
This is a reminder that health has always been shaped by systems, not just individual choices.
