So thankful for my rheumy NP. She never judges me for my anxieties surrounding my conditions. She’s so patient and takes the time to explain what’s happening with me. I love her down. 🥰🥰

Please stay on top of your health. Yes, there are prejudices within the health system but it’s okay to walk out and find another provider.

If you don’t have health insurance, check for low income clinics in your area. Also check with your local Department of Health for resources.

I wish more people would cherish and take care of their old people. I hate seeing old people at the store by themselves struggling to get around.

On the show since season 5, a college professor of education at Johns Hopkins, and a contributor to respected news platforms. Did she need the money that bad? Was she living above her means? Was it that MAN? I don’t watch the show but that really grabbed my attention.

Since we're investigating fraud...

Can we look into all those PPP loans Republican members of Congress and the Trump administration took for their personal businesses in 2020 that they didn't need and actual small businesses (esp. BIPOC) didn't get?

Because I think taxpayers would like to know!
