Just finished “Legacy” by @ucheblackstockmd.bsky.social In today’s local & global disruption & conflict, important to remember the work we can do within ourselves, to address the crushing inequity that is anti-black racism within healthcare. A powerful way to feel more in control in crazy times.

What am I reading right now? Three books at the same time!... this one gives 4-5 page summaries of 80+ subject areas. An excellent overview and an inspiring springboard into more detailed reading. Recommended!

For what it’s worth (& it’s worth a lot to me), I sent $$ to @who.int when USA cancelled support; I still prioritize diversity, equity & inclusion; I will support orgs helping Canadians hit by inevitable tariffs; & I won’t vote to join USA. Small actions to help me feel empowered in a crazy world.

I just donated to WHO - please join me… “What if we proved WHO still matters? If each of us, believing the UN isn’t perfect but it’s all we’ve got, gave just $1…”Let’s raise $1 billion to support the World Health Organization’s critical mission.” whofoundation.donorsupport.co/page/FUNEKRB...

1 Dollar, 1 World

I have been at WHO for over 10 years. Like my colleagues, I have worked my butt off day and night to fight Covid and work towards universal access to health care. This place frustrates me every day.

Nelson Mandela: “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” Time for the world to re-examine its soul and for good people everywhere to demand leaders who will act for the protection of our children.

So what are my New Year resolutions? Personal: to keep family first & foremost. Professional: to finish off at SickKids in April and achieve a career transition to increase my impact in global child health, leveraging my 30 years experience in academic paediatrics and leadership.
