Black Americans need to Step It Up today to improve our health literacy, and advocate for better care, for ourselves and for everyone. Get Moving. Drink Water. Limit Sugar. Be Mindful. Pick a new healthy habit today.
It’s easy to overlook something as basic as staying hydrated. But trust me, keeping that water game on point is key to living your best life. Whether you’re running errands, working your hustle, or just out here living, water keeps everything moving smoothly.
Whether you’re chasing the kids, the spotlight, or just trying to keep up with life, staying active is your secret weapon; getting your sweat on is essential for keeping your mind sharp, your energy on 100, and your swag on point.
Mindfulness is for anyone who wants to stay sharp, focused, and most importantly, stay in control.
Now, I know we all love a little something sweet now and then, but too much sugar is like that toxic verse in a track—it sounds good at first, but

I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to speak at this year’s Global Health Equity Forum alongside such passionate and dedicated leaders at @bristolmyerssquibb. Health equity is a personal passion of mine, and I was honored to discuss the work we are doing to improve healthcare access, with a focus on breaking down the barriers that prevent so many from accessing clinical trials, quality care, and the medicines they need.
Before taking the stage with moderator Andrew Whitehead, I was humbled by the standing ovation from the #BMS employees.🥲☺️ Their support was incredibly moving and set the tone for an inspiring event. Afterward, I had a candid and insightful conversation with CEO Chris Boerner, where we discussed #healthhopehiphop and the challenges we face as advocates for health equity. Gentlemen your openness and commitment to driving real change means the world to me.
BMS’s commitment to systemic change, beyond financial support, is vital for creating long-term solutions that will leave a lasting, positive impact on healthcare systems. Let’s continue to collaborate and push for meaningful change to ensure a healthier future for all.

HOPE!!
Hope was the matador that helped me dodge all the bull that was charging my way. We are nothing without hope: I hope I get that promotion; I hope my children turn out okay; I hope they find a cure. Every day I HOPE I can make a difference in this world by sharing my experiences and shining a light on healthcare disparities.
I HOPE you have a very happy, healthy 2025!
