Take a glance at the agenda & speakers for our 3-part collaborative series discussing pressing #health issues in #Black adolescent & adult #women. We'll be joined by @_DCHealth, @GMHC, @GWpublichealth, and more! Be sure to #register for your access here: ow.ly/rSJb50AGQm7

Black adolescent & adult women in the U.S. are disproportionately affected by HIV, STIs, COVID-19, IPV, stigma, & poor maternal & child health outcomes. We are holding a 3 part series to discuss a path forward.

Being #BlackintheIvory is being required to do unpaid labor: getting colleagues to recognize their anti-blackness, doing the diversity work bc your program won’t hire diverse faculty, mentoring other POC students. Meanwhile your white colleagues get to just focus on their science

On a campus interview and the lone black faculty member (retiring), who you would be replacing, says: "Don't work here. These folks are racist as hell." #BlackintheIvory
