It’s the scariest time ever once again. Starting new medication for my Rheumatoid Arthritis. Nothing is worse than when your medicine stops working. Until 2020 I was on Humira for 5 years and it was an absolute god send for me, unfortunately I built up antibodies. My rheumatologist and myself have played the waiting game, we went from Plaquenil to Simponi and then to Orencia. During this time I’ve had to fight insurance for approval, join savings clubs cause even with amazing insurance my copay was 500 for a month supply of Orencia before the savings program. Once you play the waiting game then you have to play will this work game, followed by what new side effects am I going to have. Orencia gave me excessive sebum production and I felt like a teenager again. Rinvoq looks to be a good option for me, it’s made by the company who made Humira, it’s in trials to cover a multitude of more conditions and my rheumatologist is thankful I’m a willing “lab rat” (My words not his) to help other patients in his practice who are afraid to start biologics and Dmards. Here’s to hopefully a fresh, joint pain free start. #rinvoq #rheumatoidarthritis #lupus #autoimmunedisease #spoonielife #spooniesupport #spooniestrong #ralife (at Marshall Cancer Care Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUxZjR8AhfP/?utm_medium=tumblr

5 Thing Black Students Should Go Out of Their Way to Participate in at PWI’s

During my time at primarily white institution, I’ve been able to see the lack of representation of color in many areas of campus. I’ve comprised a list of things that I feel black students should try to become a part of, time permitting of course!

1. Housing and Resident Life, Become an RA!

2. Student Government 

3. Orientation Assistants

4. Tour Guides

5. University mentoring/tutoring programs

These 5 points on campus are usually the first areas OUR black students have contact with when coming onto campus as a freshmen! We need to let them know that these positions are obtainable, and should be taken seriously! A lot of young Black students do not participate in these activities because they aren’t seemingly “cool” or “interesting”. But these are all positions that MATTER, we can’t expect people who don’t look like us to always have our best interest at heart. We can’t keep letting decision makers and influencers all look the same and expect them to effectively represent the diverse masses. Being an RA, I see that there are a lot of non-black RA’s who have no idea how to effectively communicate with our black residents, and there is only so much “diversity” training they can be put through. Most will never understand, that is one main reason I think it is important to have a lil mo’ color in all departments.
