In my latest piece, I share the story of how diagnostic agility—not perfect planning—led to 91% member support for DEIJB work in a 4,500-member international organization. (Plus a link to the case study)

70% of chronic illness patients are forced to "fail first" on cheaper meds before accessing what doctors actually prescribed. READ more about this & other absurd limitations of health insurance + my own experience 📖 tinyurl.com/yc3svyk6

In my last article, I shared my personal journey through 5 years of Long COVID. In this follow-up plot twist, I discovered the healthcare system might be sicker than I am. In 'When the System Becomes the Symptom,': medical gaslighting, structural inequities, and the power of trauma-informed care.

When someone tells me who they are, I believe them. I don’t need laws or religion to know how I feel about trans folx. I don’t need oppression to personally impact me to care about it. Gender expansiveness is a natural part of nature & society- trying to control who others are especially when it

I am a disabled woman - most are invisible, but that doesn’t make them any less real. I have needs just like every other human, not sure how special they are. There are a lot of misconceptions about being a woman and/or disabled - 1/2

Here I am with Part 2 already, because I just couldn't wait to share. I am reminded how much changed during my mother's life thanks to the activism of the 60s. DEI is good for everyone.

Join me for a trip down memory lane as we recall what hard won rights our ancestors secured for us. #DEI has existed under many different names, but has always been about expanding who has access & rights. As a Culture & Belonging Consultant, I’ve witnessed how far we still have to go to… 1/2

To be crystal f’ing clear the only people who need to be afraid of, worried about, or resisting DEI are mediocre, cis, white, straight, able-bodied, wealthy men. The rest of us all benefit from programs, access, & opportunities that fall under the umbrella of DEI.

No matter where you are on the spectrum of support for DEI I find there tends to be a good deal of mythology, misinformation, and misunderstanding around the objectives. In my work as a Culture and Belonging Consultant, I'm here to tell you DEI is good for ALL of us. www.linkedin.com/pulse/debunk...
Title: debunking the fear what DEIJB is really all about. Subtitle: exploring the true meaning goals and benefits of DEIJB while dispelling harmful myths. The background image is of facial profiles made of crumpled paper. The color becomes more saturated as you move from left to right

My cousin has moved to hospice so I’m on my way to support & be there for his homegoing. It adds an extra layer to #ChronicPain math. The last thing I want is to add to the things we’re navigating, but I also can’t be as agile as I used to be. I can’t afford my own place on Maui plus I do want 🧵

Look it’s just not emotionally possible for me to make two trips from my car to my apartment post-errands. I would rather be crushed under the weight of 42 reusable bags, 3 half full beverages, & the slipperiest box ever handled rather than make that 2 minute trip TWICE!!

I feel SO annoyed when people who know better still refuse to do better. Alt text and capitalizing hashtags for basic accessibility do not take too long & are cool. Would a very cool person like me (see pic) with limited time, steer you wrong? Don’t be ableist (and don’t steal my look). #Disability
