Yes, I write for myself and appreciate the feedback many share often privately with me. That being said, reviews matter for many as they navigate selecting a book amongst so many. A MAP OF HER OWN is a great gift too. #writingcommunity #book#bluesky

It is easy to feel discouraged.

But we want to thank the many public health professionals, like Dr. Deb Houry, who continue to fight. Sharing her powerful op-ed.

And a huge thank to all the current and former CDC career staff who work tirelessly to protect all people. 💚

"Things have not improved," writes Dr. Debra Houry. "They have worsened. And Congress has still failed to act."
