On #NationalBlackWomenPhysiciansDay I was with this AMAZING group of @harvardmed Black women physicians and medical students and shared my leadership lessons along with co-panelists @TYPoussaintMD @BurnettBowie and @JYReede! Thanks to @AdjoaGIMD @ShainaLipa & Dr. Ria Roberts! 🔥

Can’t wait for these amazing interns to join the Brigham family!!! Congratulations on an awesome match!

So great to re-connect with @MaxJordan_N at the @BNPPARIBASOPEN this week! #BrighamFamily @BrighamMedRes

Having an AMAZING time at the Indian Wells @BNPPARIBASOPEN tennis tournament! Still heartbroken about @BenShelton losing today. Hope he feels better soon!

Appreciate all that @MassAGO @AJCampbellMA does to fight for #healthcare, #NIHfunding, #DEI, #healthequity, #immigrants, and #justice for us all. It was an incredible honor to meet her in #OakBluffs and hear more about her vision and advocacy.

LOVED celebrating our @BrighamMedRes 2025 🌟GRADUATION🌟with amazing colleagues, and our incredible senior residents! #BrighamFamily

@Angelinajoyce00 @UMass Of course, it’s real! Gri is a lovely young woman who works, lives, and goes to college in Boston (at @UMassBoston) and like so many here, is struggling to make ends meet.

Many thanks to @SocietyGIM for this wonderful recognition! 🔥🔥🔥

Big congratulations to all medical students matching today! Especially excited to welcome the new 2025-2026 Class of @BrighamWomens Internal Medicine Interns! We are looking forward to working with you all very soon! @harvardmed @MassGenBrigham @BrighamMedRes @MGBResearchNews

🇺🇸 @BenShelton has defeated Brandon Nakashima, 7-6 6-1, to reach his FIRST Indian Wells quarterfinal. 💥 And at 22, he's the YOUNGEST AMERICAN MAN to reach the quarterfinals of Indian Wells since Andy Roddick in 2004: tennis.com/news/articles/…

Had a blast at our annual winter ball last week! ❄️ So fun seeing everyone dressed to the nines. Grateful for our Brigham family & can’t wait to welcome many new names to the list next month!

When Kendrick Lamar declared, “40 Acres & a Mule, this is bigger than music…,” he wasn’t merely making a lyrical statement—he was invoking a profound historical injustice that continues to shape the realities of Black America. The phrase “40 acres and a mule” references the unfulfilled promise made to formerly enslaved Black Americans after the Civil War, a broken commitment that symbolizes the systemic economic disenfranchisement of Black people in America. Lamar’s words transcend hip-hop; they speak to the deep wounds of generational oppression and the ongoing fight for reparations—a demand for justice, not charity. By placing this historical struggle within the framework of his music, Kendrick isn’t just rapping; he is using his art as a vehicle for truth, resistance, and a call to action. His statement reminds us that reparations aren’t just a political debate or an abstract concept—they are a moral imperative, a debt owed, and an essential step toward true justice and equality.

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

@MaxJordan_N I was just saying the same thing to @KTHallPhDMPH. Great to have something to celebrate. 👏🏽

Monfils winning this championship is the good news I needed.

At 18, I nervously walked into my college’s pre-med office and said I wanted to be a doctor. They suggested I consider other careers—why? Maybe because I came from a small town. Maybe because I was Latino. Maybe because I was poor. I didn’t listen. Now, for the first time, I’m wearing the long white coat of a doctor—my white coat. Sometimes, all it takes is believing in yourself.

A time was had during the 2024 season – tracking all the deep runs and title triumphs was good fun. 🏆 Shoutout to all the players on both tours for providing top-tier entertainment week after week, month after month! 🤩 We go again in 2025!
