ELLA - Black & Brown Women Disruptors
@elladisruptors.bsky.social
https://www.youtube.com/@EllaDisruptors ELLA - she/her/ella, the word ella pronounced {eh-yah} is the Spanish pronoun equivalent to the English she or her. Our existence is revolutionary. Empowered women in medicine and beyond share their truths.
No, you're not going to get Ebola sitting next to someone at a World Cup stadium. Ebola spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids from an infected person. Facts over fear. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola #WorldCup #CDC #PublicHealth
He had a valid visa. He was coming to officiate a World Cup match. Instead, he was detained and sent home because he came from a country experiencing an Ebola outbreak. Science should drive policy. Fear should not. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola

A rare Ebola strain. No approved vaccine. No specific treatment. That's why global health experts are paying attention. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola
Ebola. A global health emergency. Active screening at U.S. airports. What should Americans actually know? Facts over fear. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola
Growing Ebola outbreak. Weaker surveillance systems. Less global coordination. Experts warn the U.S. leaving the World Health Organization means we may have less visibility into outbreaks as they spread. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola #PublicHealth
A rare Ebola strain. Weakened surveillance systems. The U.S. pulling out of the World Health Organization. This is why experts are sounding the alarm. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Ebola #Hantavirus #WorldHealthOrganization #PublicHealth
A growing Ebola outbreak in Congo and Uganda is raising concern among global health experts. Weakened disease surveillance, public health cuts, and the U.S. pulling out of WHO have left the world more vulnerable. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
Dr. Clare becomes the first Black woman president of American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. A moment that could not matter more as Black women remain 2.5–3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
The science reportedly showed the vaccines were safe. The findings were blocked anyway. What else are they hiding? @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Vaccines #Science
A federally funded study reportedly found no major safety concerns with COVID-19 & shingles vaccines. But the findings were blocked from publication after failing to support a preferred narrative. That should concern everyone. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
SCOTUS made Section 2 of the VRA harder to use against minority vote dilution. Kagan called it the “demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” The same communities losing hospitals are losing voting power. CDC 2024: Black maternal mortality 44.8 vs 14.2. Kindergarten MMR 92.5%. youtu.be/pusjJypmjLo

$1 trillion cut from healthcare. Black and brown women already face the highest maternal mortality rates. Less access to care won’t fix that. It will make it worse. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #healthcare
Higher premiums. Less access to care. Tax cuts for billionaires. The impact falls hardest on communities already at risk. This isn’t political. This is clinical. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #healthcare #medicare
Less for healthcare. More for war. More for ICE. Rural hospitals are closing. Access to care is shrinking. And the impact falls hardest on the communities already at risk. This isn’t just policy. It’s priorities. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
TrumpRx claims a 600% reduction in drug prices. That’s not just wrong. It’s impossible. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #TrumpRx #DrugCosts #Medicine #PublicHealth
Federal health dollars. A hot tub video of RFK Jr. with Kid Rock. Meanwhile, real public health needs go underfunded. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #HHS #RFKJr #PublicHealth
Two Black women orthopaedic surgeons in a Chicago hotel room. One conversation. One pitch to MeidasTouch. One show. Then Kamala Harris was nominated and we never looked back. Ella exists because we got tired of being asked to be less. @elladisruptors.bsky.social drhaydeebrown.substack.com
Say her name. Dr. Cerina W. Fairfax. This is femicide. She was killed by her husband after serving divorce papers. Leaving is often the most dangerous moment. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #Femicide #SayHerName #DrCerinaFairfax #DomesticViolence
A new CDC director steps in as measles cases rise. But the bigger issue is instability. The CDC has seen multiple leadership changes since January 2025. That matters for how outbreaks are handled. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #CDC #Vaccines #Measles
Multiple CDC leadership changes since Jan. 2025. Now a new director steps in as a measles outbreak grows. Instability in public health has real consequences, especially for communities already at risk. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #CDC #PublicHealth
“A whole civilization will die.” A statement made by a sitting U.S. president. Experts warn this rhetoric could have catastrophic consequences and may violate international law. This moment matters. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
@drhaydeebrown.bsky.social: It was always going to risk exactly this flashpoint. The moment Iran blocked the strait, Trump's political survival became economically intertwined with reopening it.
The human body was not meant to endure 2 trump terms in one lifetime.
When rhetoric escalates, so do the responses. Even those are the far right are now calling for consideration of the 25th Amendment. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #25thAmendment #Trump #Iran #WarinIran
Some physicians have said on record they’re concerned about warning signs in Trump’s cognitive health. Changes in speech, memory, and behavior are drawing increasing attention. @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @meidastouch.com
War raises oil prices. Oil raises gas prices. Gas raises grocery prices. All because Trump decided to play warlord. This is how global conflict hits your wallet. @sonyasloanmd.bsky.social @drhaydeebrown.bsky.social @meidastouch.com #GasPrices #WarInIran #Trump #Economy
