Yesterday I took down my posts about how TSA treated me at LAX Airport. I was embarrassed at how emotional I was. I was anxious about the confrontation. So I deleted it. But they make too many mothers feel this way, so I’m going to talk about it bc this needs to stop 🧵

Officially Dr. Nwosu! It was also an honour to be selected to give the valedictory address by my colleagues. This was possible because of my family’s support of everything I do and all my mentors. The last four years have been an absolute dream. Thankful to be #QMed forever.❤️

BREAKING: Toronto Police have released data showing Black people were 230% more likely to have a police officer point a firearm at them when they appeared to be unarmed than white people. I don't want to hear anyone say that systemic racism doesn't exist in policing EVER AGAIN.

Today's news is unsurprising but relieving to have. It's easy to question ourselves without the data to back up what we know is true. Toronto Police data is a start. We also lack race-based data on disparities in Canadian healthcare. We can certainly predict what it would show.

Som abortion thoughts: I teach sex ed and when I explain the menstrual cycle, I emphasize that if you are expecting your period, it’s one day late, and you take a pregnancy test, if it comes back positive, you are considered 4 weeks + 1 day into your pregnancy.

White-coated and ready to hit the wards. Lots of emotions flooded through me at today’s white coat ceremony, but feelings of privilege and appreciation definitely took the limelight.

Really excited to be at the 4th annual Black Medical Students' Association of Canada AGM and 2nd in person! I remember last time we were in person. There were 60 of us which comprised most of the Black med students in the country. Today this number has nearly tripled! My heart is full! #blackexcellence
