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! 👏🏽
Happy Quarantine Birthday to my talented focused musical buddy from wayyy back. Easy to talk to, work with, ever patient and never judgemental. You're an awesome friend. Cheers to many more healthy years to you… https://t.co/1TQvqOStYJ
