How meningitis rash looks on Black skin 👇🏾 Take note because there is no mention of how it presents itself on Black people.

Edna Mmbali Ombakho came to the UK from Kenya to study and reach her goals, only to end up being found dead in a body of water. No wall-to-wall mainstream media coverage. No televised press conference. Just one local news report followed by silence. open.substack.com/pub/melissasig…

Our colleague Dr. Emma Calow is conducting international research into women’s experiences of running in public spaces in Northern Ireland. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in participating in the study, please check the QR code or contact Emma on email 👇👇

MAJOR UPDATE: MY SISTER IS SICKLE CELL FREE!🥹🥲❤️ We had our sibling blood stem cell/ bone marrow transplant 17th December 2025; we got her latest blood results back, over 95% of her blood is mine! SO grateful to our BMT team, our surgeons, nurses, HCAs. My world is healing

Normalize telling boys the stories of what women in the family went through. Boys seem to hear "grandma makes the best tortillas" while daughters hear "grandma was married at 14." Tell the boys the cost of their favorite meals, too.

Let me explain what this means so that you understand better. . Sometimes tiny cells in our stomach get very stubborn and turn into bad guys called cancer. They grow way too fast and don't listen to the body's rules. . But you see, these smart scientists in Korea didn't want to fight them with big scary bombs and bazookas like old medicines do. Instead they sat the cells on a wooden bench and said "Look here you stubborn cells, why don't you just remember who you really are and be good again? . So they made a pretend computer twin of our belly cells. Just like a magic video game version. (something like that sha) so they played around in the game to find the three bossy switches that were making the cells stay stubborn. . . Those three bossy switches have funny names. They are MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2. Fantastic 3 lool . The scientists turned those three mean switches Off. Poof. And just like that guess what? The stubborn cancer cells were like "Ohhh… I remember now! . Then they calmed down, grew up properly, and turned back into nice, normal belly helper cells. No more bad growing. They then tried this in Mice, and the poor mice got better. The bad lumps got smaller because the cells stopped being the bullies they were. It's like telling your barking Dog at home to shusss and calm down. And it actually calms down. . . This isn't ready for humans yet, as it's still developing. But it's going to help out someday. And well, a lot of people are gonna be wayyyy happier. . . . Kudos to the scientists once again and I'm super happy about this development and the positive impact it's going to have on affected people 💪🏾💪🏾 . ✍️ Vincent The Therapist

There’s real tears in my eyes, this is the best Harry Potter summary/explanation ever 😌

I want to share the Bone Marrow Transplant journey between myself and my sister online. But I’ve spent yesterday holding back tears; stealing moments between appointments to cry; being angry & exhausted and crying all day today. It’s a lot. Sickle Cell isn’t an afterthought.

Play isn’t just something kids do — it’s how they learn, explore and build confidence. At Boing, every game is designed to help children move joyfully and creatively. #LearnThroughPlay #MovementMatters #BoingKids boingplaytank.co.uk

Some days I'm able to just keep going, but days like today where I have a quick question to ask, I'm reminded you're no longer here & my heart breaks all over again. Words can't describe how heavy my heart feels. Never did I think I'd be ending this PhD journey without you Doc💔

Wow my heart feels so heavy, this one has hit hard 💔

I’m delighted to share this work in which I examined how the Irish SCPE curriculum could offer valuable insights for a viable, diverse and high-quality physical education through the use of Models-based practice💚. 50 free copies 👇🏽 tandfonline.com/eprint/KZ9DHRV…

I am once again appealing to the algorithm #onhere to connect me to Black PhD students in London so we can commisserate + cowork in the depths of hell that is doing a PhD🥲 > > >

me and my bestfriend passed the bar exam today with scores high enough to practice in 41+ jurisdictions. we’re officially esquires ⚖️

@M_CastroGarcia Congratulations!! 👏🏽🎉

🎉 Happy to share that I’ve been awarded a Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral fellowship and start today at @inefcat with the incredible @susannasp16 . Excited for the journey ahead!

But racism doesn't exist in this country...

Today is the first blood drive of my @ITAV_campaign to get 16,000 new blood donors from Black heritage backgrounds to register to donate blood! We’ve saved lives today🥹❤️ #ITAVxSimplySayo #16kdonors #GiveBloodWithSayo @GiveBloodNHS

😂Not me getting stared at on my walk home by a White man driving his car...which was fully decorated with the British flag. Can't even be comfortable in my own area 😂
