We show love to Debbie Thomas, who made history on this day in 1986, becoming the first Black woman to win the US National figure skating tournament (women’s singles).
Debbie accomplished this while being a Pre-Med student at Stanford University. She later became an Orthopedic Surgeon, but stopped practicing medicine in the mid 2010s.
