Dr. Ijeoma Nnodim Opara, MD, FAAP, FAIM

Good day to all my new friends now following this account 🥰! Allow me 2 introduce myself: I’m a internal medicine & pediatric academic primary care physician, scholar, scientist, activist, storyteller, poet, mom, wife, speaker, coach, host, mentor & Health justice consultant. 1/

We’re all on some sort of spectrum.

I’m petitioning Nigeria to send troops to the United States of America to liberate us from an authoritarian fascist dictatorship and bring us freedom & democracy. Cos it takes one to know one. #IYKYK

I’m so happy to have been a speaker today on the structural & social drivers of Mental Health for minoritized students and trainees at Harvard Medical School Office of Diversity Inclusion & Community Partnerships. We’re still doing the work! Unapologetic, Unbossed, & Unbothered

Them: “Dr. Opara, wutchu doing April 5th? You marching to save THIS COUNTRYYYYYY?????” Me: (at Legoland) Y’all got it this time! 👍🏾 #ItsAboveMe #RestingRejuvenatingEnjoying #92%

Also, which of the Ivy Leagues has the onyx ovaries to pop out & show off? Or does the acronym “IVY” actually stand for: “Impotent, Vapid, & Yellow-Bellied”? #MissMeWithTheHypocrisy

The way Universities around the country are capitulating left and right to this administration - I’m gonna need then to cancel all courses on Leadership, Courage, & Innovation. ‘Cos how can you teach something you don’t know? 1/

Even though the journey looks a little different, you are still worthy, valued, amazing & successful 🥳🤩🎉

Congratulations to all the folks who matched around the nation. I wish you all a fantastic journey & great success in this new chapter of your career. & congratulations to all who did not match….yet; because this is still a major milestone & a remarkable achievement.

Please join me to congratulate my amazing mentee & Lead Research Associate, Dr. Yasemin Bahar for matching with her first choice residency program - Us: Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University School of Medicine, Internal Medicine!!!

The minute they start feeling pressed or are told to feel pressed or have concepts of being pressed…out come the Uzis. All 393 million of them. THAT’s one of my biggest concerns. Am I overreacting? 3/3

We build, they find out, they destroy. By violence. These modafokas are not good at peace. They are not good at the perception that they have less or “someone” else is taking away from them or the idea we have more than we “deserve”. 2/

It’s all fun and games with what’s happening in these Ulcerous States of America until…..someone starts shooting. That’s my biggest bug with the whole rest & mind our business & build strategy. We tried that before: See Black Wall street, Greensboro, Oscarville, etc. 1/
