Meet Alena Analeigh McQuarter, a 17-year-old phenomenon and unstoppable young queen rewriting history in STEM and medicine! 👏🏽
At just 13 years old, she made history as the youngest Black student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school (University of Alabama at Birmingham Heersink School of Medicine).
Now at 17, this powerhouse has already achieved what most only dream of:
• Graduated high school at 12
• Earned her Bachelor’s in Biomedical Sciences and Master’s in Biological Sciences (both Summa Cum Laude) from Arizona State University by age 15
• Became the youngest person of color to intern at NASA (at just 12)
• Founded The Brown STEM Girl and The Brown STEM Girl Foundation — creating scholarships, mentorship programs, and global opportunities for girls of color in STEM
• Conducting advanced research in cancer immunology, virology, and global health
• Pursuing her PhD in Integrated Biomedical Sciences (focus on infection, immunity & inflammation) at Loma Linda University while on the path to her MD/PhD
• Initiated into Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. as one of the youngest members
From Texas to NASA to the frontiers of medicine — Alena’s journey is a powerful testament to discipline, brilliance, and purpose. She’s not just breaking barriers… she’s building bridges for every young Black girl behind her.
Her story is a powerful one. Keep shining, Queen! 👏🏽
@loveislandplug I believe her and at least she took out the time to address this situation. But other people get a pass and a recording contract. But don't say sorry for their racist attitude or child abuse allegations.
Olandria secures a major brand partnership with José Cuervo less than 24-hours after announcing her previous deal.
— The brands clearly love to see her coming.
@SeeRacists Look at these to dust bags just a gross and embassment to the badge. This is why some want to become cops to bully and abuse. People of color it's a power trip for them.
@TrendshiftTea Of course Doo doo garbage doesn't give a shit about black women including hid mother and sister because if he did he would've thought twice about. Sending a culture vulture racist and drifter his coins.
@KnotChaos Me I always noticed MJ love for his black Queens. He never let colorism in the music industry keep him from getting the ones he wanted. MJ love everyone that's true and he was proud and also loved his culture and women.
Who noticed Michael Jackson often showcased the beauty of Black women by casting them in his music videos.
He made sure that he represented black beauty... the only man to sing about beautiful African Women during the 80s don't forget that! 🖤
