If you are wondering why I'm bald, here is my story. Thanks to my family, friends, colleagues @MDAndersonNews, & support from @NAAF_org for helping me on my alopecia journey. nitter.gq/MDAndersonNews/status/…
How the courage of our patients helped @shamsha embrace her baldness caused by #alopecia: bit.ly/2DLfEal #endcancer
September is Alopecia Awareness Month and this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Please help me reach my goal! support.naaf.org/fundraiser/… #alopecia

I had read “Atomic Habits” by @JamesClear when it first came out, though this podcast with @tferriss was a great refresher! My favorite quote: You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. overcast.fm/+KebsgFK6Q
"10-year dreams. 5-minute actions.
Where do I want to be in 10 years?
What can I do in the next 5 minutes to contribute to that outcome?"
– @JamesClear.
This is my new mantra for 2023!

This is the trifecta of leadership wisdom from @BreneBrown, @simonsinek & @AdamMGrant! And @AdamMGrant had the mic drop moment with this: Most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed. linkedin.com/posts/brenebrow…

Celebrating leadership day at @MDAndersonNews & loving what @CyWakeman is preaching! My favorite nugget: drama is emotional waste. Leaders need to facilitate good mental processes. Ask powerful questions like what would great look like?

My @MDAndersonNews peeps: if you missed the talk, make sure to watch the recording! Life changing and such good life & leadership lessons.

Absolutely loved hearing @AdamMGrant speak at @MDAndersonNews today! Few takeaways: reframe how I think of imposter syndrome (it actually makes you work harder!), share costs of not changing especially in the face of uncertainty, & have confident humility.
September is Alopecia Awareness Month. Would you please consider donating a small amount to help @NAAF_org in its mission to help find a cure or acceptable treatment? Even $5 will help. Thanks! #AlopeciaAwarenessMonth support.naaf.org/fundraiser/…

And @MDAndersonNews is #10 on this list for Top Employers for Women! This quote from @Beyonce sums up how I feel: “I want to build a community where women of all races can communicate & continue to support & take care of each other… That is power.” So very proud!
The top employers for women range from shoe companies to hospitals. trib.al/GXKis5u #AmericasBestEmployers

Agree that there’s so place like home when I’m with my alopecia tribe! Very inspired to hear @CVBelieve speak at this year’s @NAAF_org conference. Can’t wait for his documentary to be released later this year! P.S. I’m not that short; Charlie is just really tall 🙄#Alopecia
So excited to be with my bald tribe at @NAAF_org and especially excited to meet Congresswoman @AyannaPressley! Her message always resonates: be brave, be bald, be you. #Alopecia
When I lost all my hair due to alopecia, I felt intense shame & a profound sense of loss of my identity. It was not until I found my bald tribe through @NAAF_org that I learned how to heal by helping others. Please join us for this webinar because you are not alone! #alopecia

The Organization for Women book club at @MDAndersonNews is ready to discuss our next book: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel smile.amazon.com/dp/15011619… #Amazon
The book covers so many topics: love, loss, domestic violence, and more. Can’t wait to discuss!
Feeling a sense of accomplishment after starting the morning climbing stairs @RiceUniversity to raise funds for @LungAssociation, tho must admit legs were jelly after we were done! Thanks @jennifercofer for creating our @MDAndersonNews team!
And special congratulations to @jennifercofer for being named @LungAssociation honoree and face of the event! So proud of the work you are doing to raise awareness for lung disease!
