Last week, CIR physicians from @jeffersonhealth, @templehealth, and @jeffersonhealtheinstein met with more than 20 elected officials from across Greater Philadelphia to discuss our fight for fair first contracts and ensuring sustainable care for our communities.

As the doctors providing the majority of care in our city’s hospitals, our well-being is tied to the health of all Philadelphians. But after months of bargaining, too many of us are still struggling to get by with our current pay and working conditions while working 80+ hours a week.

We know that there is power in numbers and our hospitals cannot run without us, so let’s be very clear: we care deeply about our patients + this city, and won’t stop fighting until we win the fair contracts that both we and Philly communities deserve! 💪 💜

Directing an icon like @mspattilabelle was a memory I’ll never forget because, first, she let me call her Aunty Patti all day, and she called me Niece 🥹🤎

This project took a lot of teamwork to pull off, and my crew was phenomenal! We had FOUR company moves throughout Philly and a VO session in one day. I knew I only had 2-3 takes per shot because we were on a time crunch and it was cold! How did we pull this off? Preparation and Rehearsals! By the time it was time to film, my DP @the_constantine_lens , crew, and I were running like a well-oiled machine. I know everyone keeps congratulating me, but when I say I honestly couldn’t have done it without my team, I mean it.

Thank you, everyone, again for the support, holding it down, and making magic together 🎬✨ Until next time!

Over the last six years, I have fought and delivered.

I helped launch the first statewide right-to-counsel legislation for tenants, supported historic investments in school funding and green energy, passed medical parole for sick and elderly incarcerated people, advanced publicly owned cannabis legislation, and championed protections for at-risk youth—all because as a young Black legislator, my experiences and this moment define my legislative agenda.

And we’ve only just begun. Watch our campaign re-launch and contribute to our vision for the 188th at the link in my bio.

We were about halfway through the march from Malcolm X Park to Freedom Plaza when we took a break and walked in the shade on the other side of 16th St.

It was a crazy hot day, and the sun was taking its toll. My backpack didn’t help either. We were chatting about how our story was unfolding and how the march was going, what else to grab, that sort of thing, when we heard church bells ringing out in the distance.

As we got closer, I was struck by the towers of the church and how they looked against the thousands of people in the crowd, so I started filming and tried to do their presence justice on camera. Then I made my way through the crowd with many excuse me’s and sorry’s and I was struck by what I saw.

A group of young men were on the steps of the church waving flags of their cause, and it was really stunning to hear their chants and see their coordination over the booming pearl of the bells vibrating the air and encouraging the ten thousand of us in the street.
I didn’t catch the name of the church, but I did see a priest in shorts and a t shirt descending the steps before I started filming.

There are often a lot of spiritual leaders at these marches. While Fascism is trojan horsed into the U.S. with the veneer, one of many, of white supremacist Christian nationalism, it made me wonder about the role of spiritual leadership and institutions at this time. What can they do to help working class people organize and be a home for people’s movements?

Those bells were a powerful and small act, that made a big difference on the morale of the crowd. Especially in the extreme heat of the midday summer sun in swampy DC.

Either way, it ended up being the scene that stuck with me most that day and I’m somewhat happy with the footage. Full, short, one day doc coming soon!
