    OK y'all. A Black woman at the testing site wasn't planning on getting her vaccine. We chatted & I told her that (another Black woman) helped create version. She looked her up online &...surprise...is now getting her jab. The messenger matters!

    6/n: Update: My ICU waiting room friend lost her husband to COVID. Yesterday, I grieved her husband like I would grieve an uncle. I can only imagine what the ICU docs and nurses have been through for 1.5 years.

    Kizzy thanks for what you do. I will never forget seeing you on CNN in the spring of 2020 predicting vaccine by January. I cried at that prediction and was proud of you as a fellow NC person! That must be hard to watch

    Hawaii obviously has COVID precautions. Don’t at me. I mean: in general, the trip made me reflect on how viruses (in the right circumstances Ie. 2019) have the luxury of getting free flights with us humans.

    I just went to Hawaii and back in 24 hours, with ease. I think about that kind of travel x infinity in the latter parts of 2019 that got us here… To a pandemic. We gotta be more gentle with our Earth, y’all. (I’m included obviously except this was an emergency trip.)
