This reminds me that I promised myself I would make a doctor's appointment over break. For something unrelated--what's the recommended age to start getting mammograms (or, I read somewhere that they're doing ultrasounds on breasts now)--but this is reminding me not to keep putting off health-related things, even if they're going to be awkward and uncomfortable.
This is also why the Susan G. Komen for the Cure can go to a Hell I don't believe in for withdrawing funding from Planned Parenthood, which lots of women (and especially lots of women of color, who are more likely to be uninsured) relied on as a step towards breast health as part of their total health.
Inside the mind of a kind of quirky, pretty stubborn, way too opinionated, twenty-something, heteroflexible Black female newly employed up-and-moved-to-DC Princeton GRADUATE who's just trying to sort out her life. An uninhibited celebration of all that is me, this blog is an exercise in self-discovery and live-with-your-heart-wide-open-ness. Though I make respect a habit, I will not always be politically correct, and I believe in the power of making audiences uncomfortable to inspire change.
