At just 13 years old, Alena Analeigh McQuarter made history as the youngest Black student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school.
Now 17, this brilliant young queen has already graduated high school at 12, earned a Master’s degree, interned at NASA, founded The Brown STEM Girl to inspire other girls of color, and continues blazing trails in medicine and science.
Her journey is living proof that when purpose, discipline, and brilliance collide, nothing can hold you back not even age.
The future is in incredible hands! 👏🏽

You’re asking the wrong question: How is it that white people do not understand that voting overwhelmingly Republican hasn’t improved their lives in decades? Republican presidents have been responsible for the last 5 recessions. The job creation under Republicans vs Democrats in the last 50 years isn’t even close. Trump has given the 1 percent the wealthiest tax cut in history. Republican-led states such as Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana rank in the bottom in every important metric. Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history and overwhelmingly supported by white voters.

But you’re coming at Black voters?

🚨 DAMN.

Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:

“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”

She was SIX.

And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.

Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.

Just because of the color of her skin.

A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
