Nakita was a classmate of mine, and an inspiration to all those who knew and worked with her.

She deserved better, and was working to improve the lives of all residents and trainees.

RIP Dr. Nakita Mortimer.

Nakita, I love you and miss you. You deserved better.

I am at a loss for words.

How many more residents, physicians, humans need to take their own lives before people start to listen?

Dr. Nakita Mortimer, you deserved more.

[Deega Omar, MD, MPH @DeegaOmar]

We love you, Nakita. #shareherstory

[Rehema J. Thomas, MD @RadiantRehemaMD]

I hope Nakita inspires you to fight, too.

Rest in Heaven, Dr. Nakita Mortimer.

This is my dear friend, Nakita.

Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.

She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)

Hey #MedTwitter! I finally made my #MedGradWishList 😭 This has been particularly hard for me because I had no idea what I wanted plus I usually don’t ask people for things. But I’ve been told that I should celebrate myself more so let’s go! 🙏🏾

Hey #match2022, current residents and incoming applicants of #dermtwitter
Headed to @AADskin this week? Since the last few years made it difficult to get to know one another, how about we set up a #junior_derm_meetup in Boston?
Tag others and let’s make it happen!
