Of course this only covers the required deposit so any philanthropists out there keen to keep an international med student in school can go on and keep donating! Thank you to all who donated and congratulations Noroh D. Keep that dream alive!

What is important to remember about Noroh D.’s story is that this not an individual failing/unfortunate cautionary tale, but a reflection of a larger, more complicated web of institutional shortcomings & the risk of venturing into EDI waters without a clear sight of a safe shore.

Congratulations to all of the physicians on the The Medical Post 2021 Power List — including our virtual care champion Sacha Bhatia and long time supporter + friend @chikastacypoet! 👏

Thrilled to finally share my newest poem ‘We are worth more than our trauma’, just in time for Black Mental Health Day! 🖤✨ live now on the Indigo blog 👉🏾👉🏾 indig.ca/zpnQ50DLfOb

In the throes of residency & in the face of escalating online racism that upended my sense of personal & professional safety, I put my heart into this TEDxTalk as an affirmation of the power of presence and resistance. 🎙👉🏾Dare to Occupy Powerful Spaces: youtu.be/8-PRc16zcu4

Dr. Chika Oriuwa’s TEDx is as fierce and fearless as she is!! She tells us “I am Black. I am woman. I am a doctor.” challenges us to be our authentic selves - Dare To Occupy Powerful Spaces | @chikastacypoet 🙌🏾👌🏾Office of Inclusion & Diversity (OID), Temerty Med Black Medical Students' Association of Canada Black Medical Students’ Association at U of T JRJChairBlackCanadianStudies youtu.be/8-PRc16zcu4

"Because advocacy, for me, is a form of self-preservation", literally blown away by the passion and brilliance of @chikastacypoet. This TEDxMagadh is a MUST WATCH

There is a huge amount of collective trauma and grief today across the country due to this discovery. May the families, their nations and all survivors of residential schools be surrounded by love and support. #AllOurRelations

Medicine should be trauma-informed. Education should be trauma-informed. Justice should be trauma-informed. And journalism should be trauma-informed.

Nothing will ever change by flags being flown at half-mast. ACTION. Clean drinking water, housing, economic prosperity, land back, justice for our women, nieces, sisters and aunties - to name a few.

THRILLED to finally be able to share that my best friend, Chika Stacy Oriuwa, has been selected as one of TIME’s Next Generation Leaders! Congratulations, you continue to inspire and awe me every day 🥰😭 ti.me/3AEqX1B

So excited to share that I’ve been selected by TIME Magazine as a 2021 #NextGenerationLeader alongside incredible giants paving their way in the world! Dedicating this very special honour to my mom, Nmeka, who believed in the power of my voice and the resilience of my spirit. 🙏🏾

As someone who is consistently inspired by you and your work, this recognition leaves me speechless! I am so honoured. Thank you for your support and being the truest embodiment of black girl magic for us all ❤️

As a member of the advisory board, I was deeply troubled by the letter & the harm it caused. This isnt the end of the work CMAJ needs to do including review of the editorial process that led to the error but it is an essential step in the right direction to prevent further harm.

CMAJ is formally retracting the letter by Dr. Emil, which did not contain appropriate subject matter for publication by the CMAJ. Read the full statement from Kirsten Patrick, interim editor-in-chief, CMAJ: cmaj.ca/content/193/50…

Standing in solidarity with the Muslim community today and always. Relieved that the article has been retracted, saddened/horrified at the deep pain it has caused, & hopeful that CMAJ will actively review its editorial practices to advance EDI efforts.

Excited to provide the keynote address for the Ontario Psychiatric Association “We’re Listening” Event, in partnership with Bell Let's Talk on Jan,26 2022! Will discuss mental health at the intersection of equity, diversity and inclusion. Registration open now.

Thanks Tim Nicholson for this 🧵 showcasing our new Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry review of Neuromodulation for Functional Neurological Disorder and Somatic Symptom Disorder. A big effort co-led by Chika Stacy Oriuwa & Adriano Mollica w/ @PerezMGHLab Nir Lipsman & others jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/…

What an honour! Thank you Maclean’s Magazine and major congrats to the other incredible individuals listed. ✨
