I've decided to start a blog. A place where I can write my thoughts down with the hope that it will be helpful to me and it might be helpful to others. My thoughts are forever changing (hopefully!) in the endless struggle to become a little bit more enlightened. And there is apprehension. What if what I say is not understood? What if what I say is wrong?

about this blogA place where I can write my thoughts on race, on privilege, on class, on being a doctor. Part of the endless struggle to become a little bit more enlightened and feel a little less alienated.
Agree with me. Call me out. Pass it on. I post once or twice a month with smaller comments on mini-blog. about meMy name is Jess. In the interest of full disclosure: I'm a 30-something-year-old Chinese American and believer that the quest for social justice and equity must be an intentional and active one. I'm a Family Medicine physician. I'm queer. I'm a radical. I grew up in a mostly white suburb and my parents are white-collar workers. And I don't eat meat, but I miss it sometimes. categories
