Righteously raging to achieve equity through education. Opinions are unapologetically my own.

Tonight a woman asked me the names of my sons. When I told her their names, she immediately said, "Oh I can't say those names. Can I just call them James and John?" 😔😮 "No...you can't." I bet you she has no problem saying Schwarzenegger though. #microaggressions

I am often asked if we will vaccinate our kids. Let me provide a visual…remember the lines that people used to wait in to get the newest Apple product or a new video game console?! That's the line I will stand in to get them vaccinated. LET'S GO!!!! #GetVaccinated

Thank you Montefiore Pediatrics for making this happen today! My heart is full and I am overjoyed! It is time to get these kids protected and I'm so glad we are one step closer to that. Thanks again #CHAM Michael Cabana, MD Suzette Oyeku, MD, MPH #GetVaccinatedNow

Today, as my two kiddos got vaccinated. My 8yo said ā€œlet’s all hold hands, because we got through this togetherā€ and that’s about the time I started to cry

I had the privilege of being on a panel with Dr. Annie Andrews and in a few brief moments I could see that she is one of the best advocates for children I have ever met! If I could vote for you, I would! Thanks for continuing to walk the walk! #vote

Aaron Rodgers lied, violated NFL COVID protocols and endangered other people. Rodgers was fined $14,650. That is 0.00010933% of his 4-year, $134 million deal with Green Bay Packers, not counting endorsements. Colin Kaepernick took a knee in protest for a cause, and lost his NFL career.

I don’t know how you define good parenting but one definition is when your 5 yo daughter gets in the car and requests ā€œSeptemberā€ by Earth, Wind & Fire! #mommywin #soproud

You know it’s going to be an interesting day when the first thing you google is ā€œwhich has more caffeine - latte vs macchiato?ā€ šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø

Hanging on the field tonight as my friend and fellow #lax Mom Molly C Broder MD watch our daughters practice, another Mom says to her screaming son, ā€œdon’t scream. You’re scaring the doctors!ā€ Many things scare us but screaming children…not one of them! #Pediatrics #KidsAreKids

Parenting is so hard. It requires constant grace. But parenting is about the kids. They deserve parents who are ready to love them, nurture them and keep them safe. No one should be forced to become a parent before they are ready. It’s not fair to their kids.

Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data toĀ U.S. FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.

Every parent should chaperone a field trip with their kid’s class. You will truly appreciate how teachers are essential workers and how every single one of them needs to be paid more. #teachersareablessing #teachers

My lab’s 5-year NIH R01 grant, awarded to study gene therapy for hearing loss, was abruptly terminated. I want to share how this action has been incredibly harmful and disruptive, not just to my lab, but to the scientific process itself. 1/15
