Humbled to share this video of our Land-based healing camp and the work of so many to bring it to where it is today. This includes the work of Rassi Nashalik + Be'sha Blondin as well as hardworking staff. Thanks to @StoriesofH_S for inviting me to be a part of this project.

Grateful everyday for the people who continue to try to show up for their families/communities/cultures/ themselves as we all work to ensure the next generations have a chance to be who they were meant to be. Prayers to all the ones that didn’t get that chance. #OrangeShirtDay

🎓 Dr. Susan graduated at the top of her class and returned home in 1891 to fulfill her dream of providing medical care to the Omaha people. In August 1891, she treated 111 patients! Her drive inspires us through the final phase of restoration. Stay tuned for updates!

If he had purchased Coca-Cola & rebranded it "Plorba-Griznik", everyone would still call it Coke.
It's Twitter, plain & simple. We tweet, we don't X-crete.

Usha's body of work is an urgent record of the things that many would rather keep invisible: racism, negligence & discrimination in science and medicine -- and the sluggishness when it comes to fixing these health inequities.
This award is so well-earned.
"I uncover the stories people aren’t talking about to reveal the truth about health inequity.”
