Yesterday, I became the 2023-2025 National Vice President/President-Elect of the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians. I am following in the footsteps of the 1st Latina President (Dr. Diaz) and will become the 1st Black male President in 2025. We will not be the last!

Gun violence is now the number one leading cause of death in children under 18. This has to end. How many more? #gunviolenceawareness

It’s not the doors
It’s not books
It’s not CRT
It’s not drag queens
It’s the guns that are endangering kids.

Three children who should be in their beds right now are laying in the morgue because we value guns more than lives. If that doesn’t fill you with rage, pause and find your moral compass. Please.

We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S.
Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents.
The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.

"When babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts & prayers. Remind our lawmakers of the words of the British statesman Edmund Burke:'All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.'" @Chaplain_Black

My heart was unprepared for the joy that was Christmas morning with one year old twins. We are beyond blessed to have a home full of love and laughter today. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas from this living room full of happy babbles, box tunnels, and wrapping paper hats.
