So excited to share that my new book, w/ @LausellLinda, Transforming Careers in Mental Health for BIPOC: Strategies for Healing & Social Change, is out! 40 BIPOC leaders share how they create more inclusive, equitable, & affirming approaches to MH training, research, & practice.

ALT Flyer for the book that includes an endorsement from Dr. Derald Wing Sue that says, "A must-read book not only for students and professionals of color, but for well-intentioned colleagues who hold positions of power and privilege". There is an image of the book cover which depicts a group of BIPOC holding hands in a circle.

Great piece by @AmandaJoyceHall: "In the collective memory of the U.S., anti-Vietnam and anti-apartheid movements are generally seen as righteous struggles that U.S. institutions couldn’t help but get behind...This was revisionist history..."

Look at this picture, here a mothers milk visibly changed overnight to meet the demands of her baby who was unwell at the time
Those signals are communicated to the mother by saliva from her baby, the mother may even be unaware of her baby’s health status yet levels of white blood cells in milk are boosted. Research shows compositions of lactoferrin which is an immune molecule, which carries out protective functions like piercing the walls of harmful bacteria, are also found to be increased in the weeks prior to and following an infant's illness.
Breast milk is awesome in its complexity and the way it constantly changes and is tailored 1/🧵
