1/ Breaking barriers has defined my life since a young age. At 16, I became the first Black woman to win a gold medal from the prestigious France National Conservatory. I later shattered gender stereotypes as the first woman researcher at Stanford Robotics Lab. #BreakingBarriers

The pain I faced during my #cancer journey and the substandard care I received motivated me to use my #innovation expertise to develop solutions to improve #healthcare delivery for everyone. I'm thrilled to share that @ASCOPost has published my story.

Four years ago, when I was going through cancer, I vowed to myself that if I survived, I'd devote the rest of my life to improving #cancer care.
Today I taught a radically innovative workshop to doctors @EmoryMedicine to improve cancer care for marginalized #patients!!! 🎯💯
Sylvie Leotin retweeted
The path to inclusive care starts with understanding the experience of those who are marginalized or underserved by the healthcare system.

I keep reading that Black patients have poorer outcomes because they are uninsured or live in rural areas. 🧐🧐
What I've observed in my research is that Black patients with insurance and transportation get denied cancer screening because doctors dismissed their symptoms.

Before 2018, the main thing I knew about cancer was that I didn’t want it.
Since then I’ve gone from “patient” to "health equity trailblazer," leading a $750K innovation grant at Emory Medicine as principal investigator.
Tomorrow, I’m giving a keynote speech at @theNCI.

I could tell you gruesome stories about my journey as a cancer patient. But I’ll save those for another day.
Today, I’ll show you the happy face of a 4-YEAR cancer survivor.
In this 🧵 I’ll share some of the things that have made me feel good over the last 4 years.

It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly.
