  1. Grief doesn’t ask permission, it just hits like a bag of bricks. Today it was the grocery store. I have so many memories grocery shopping with my mom so sometimes it happens but today I walked in and saw this big beautiful day of the dead altar and it hit me, my mom isn’t here. Sometimes we forget and the reminder hurts all over again. Day of the Dead hits different when you have someone’s picture to put on that altar. I also don’t mind my grief bc it shows how much love I have and how intensely I am capable of loving. I like reminders of my mom even if they make me sad. It’s nice to know I feel so deeply and have known a love so deep. 🙏🏽 Time to build my altar this week. If you have a loved one you’d like for me to put on my altar just send me their picture 💛 #diadelosmuertos #dayofthedead #grief #rip #ripmom #mama #altar #love #imissyou #imissmymom #chicago #explore #fyp #explorepage #instagood #instagram #mexico #coco #recuerdame

  2. Hood 2 Coast Leg 1 🏃‍♀️ I am forever learning to be confident in my body even if it’s not what your typical “runners body” looks like. YOLO Split short mami on deck 🤪…. Nike got us FITTED and I just couldn’t pass up the chance to run in these fits. As a thick girl I’m always nervous and scared to wear short shorts but Cocoa buttttaaa me down. That is my preferred anti chaffe solution. ThatIt was a vibe! So blessed to get the sunset run bc I always find that so damn magical. I played the same song on repeat and just smiled the whole way through. So inspired to be in these spaces amongst women who are so damn strong and courageous. 🥹💕So grateful and empowered. #hoodtocoast #oregon #portland #hood2coast #nike #nikerunning #nikewomen #bodypositive #marathon #marathontraining #run #runner #running #runnerscommunity #runclub #nature #explore #explorepage #fyp #instagood #instagram #insta #love #confidence #curvy #rufusdusol #sunset #chicago

  3. Little things remind me of my mama 🕊️❤️‍🩹… something as random as a couch thrown away on the curb. It makes my heart smile whenever I’m reminded of her greatness. Truly humbling to remind myself of how hard she worked to make sure we were good. I get tears of joy and sadness. Joy bc anytime I’m reminded of her it feels like a hello from her and sadness bc she’s my lifelong heartache and I miss her so much. I’ll take whatever reminders of her I can get. I share my stories about my mom bc it heals many parts of me and because I hope it makes you go hug your mama a little tighter, a little longer and just appreciate the blessing of still having her alive in this world with you 🫂❤️ #love #rip #imissyou #missyoumama #ripmom #grief #grieving #griefandloss #griefjourney #griefislove #griefsucks #griefawareness #loss #explore #fyp #explorepage #chicago #instagood #instagram #insta #memories #message #quotes

  1. 1. The Heavy Heart Myth I thought I couldn’t do peds—too much heartbreak. But most days I found joy in helping, laughter in the chaos, and courage in the little ones. ❤️ 2. The Rule of Thumb Almost every med is 0.1 mg/kg … except remember B.B. KinG: Benadryl, Bicarb, Ketamine, Glucose → 1 mg/kg. 👑 3. The Popsicle Principle PO challenge? Always bring enough popsicles for the siblings. 🍭 4. Tachy Isn’t the Villain A febrile, tachy kid? Usually reassuring. Brady + extreme temps? That’s when alarms go off. 5. Parents Need Healing Too Half your job is treating the child. The other half is calming the parent’s panic. 6. Arrhythmia Cheat Code Shockable rhythms = SE.SA.SE → Shock, Epi, Shock, Amio, Shock, Epi. Pulseless = PEA → Push Epi, Always CPR. 7. The iPad Sign Pain is rarely a true 10/10 if they’re gaming or binging YouTube. Screen time > scream time. 📱 8. Tiny Patients, Big Procedures Putting an IV in a toddler feels like threading a needle with shaking hands. High stakes, tiny veins. 9. Kids are Resilient They bounce back faster than adults from things that would floor most of us. 10. Perspective Shift Walking out of the ER after a shift hits different. The “little things” never feel so little anymore. #makeitlookeasy #doctor #blackdoctor #motivation #blessed #

  2. Grey’s Anatomy definitely had the call rooms wrong 😂. No dramatic love triangles over here… just catching up on notes, getting some studying in, and if the shift is quiet, squeezing in a quick workout. In residency you learn to use the small pockets of time you get. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. 💪🏾 Now back to work when the pager goes off. #ResidentLife #DoctorMode #MakeItLookEasy #DrRB LockInLevelUp

  3. 5 reasons they said I wouldn’t be here… but I’m living proof that your journey doesn’t have to be perfect to reach your purpose. Black man from Chicago (only ~5% of physicians are Black). First-gen college student, no roadmap, just trial and error. Kicked out of my major in undergrad — had to learn discipline the hard way. Advisors told me to switch careers. Took the MCAT twice. Went to a Caribbean school — faced the stigma, but earned a scholarship and a second chance. Still here. Still standing. Still making it look easy. If the odds feel stacked against you… remember, it can still happen for you. 🙏🏾 ⸻ #LockIn #MakeItLookEasy #DoctorMode #MDMade #BlackDoctors #DrRB #Motivation

  1. Im not crying you are 🥹 My baby is finally at that Age where she wants To change her baby diaper Feed the baby and I’m so Excited I couldn’t wait untill She was at this age so I could Teach her how to care for Another person It’s way more than just playing with a doll It’s teaching her how to be affectionate, how to cater To another person needs , teaching her how to be aware by not over feeding the baby changing her diapers on time , teaching her how to wipe the baby’s body parts correctly is also teaching her good hygiene for her self !
