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! 👏🏽

@ReclaimD1 @madeyawook The music in the background…👀 It’s not clear what the point of the argument is to me, but she got witnesses if the yt chick wanted to press charges…

Monica and Shawn Williams say their white neighbor harassed them & burned a cross to intimidate them.
He's been indicted on two federal charges.

Still, South Carolina does not have a hate crime law, and the Williamses are pushing to make it a reality.

In 250 years, Louisiana has sent 171 white men to Congress.

During Reconstruction, Black people were elected and denied their seats. Only one Black man — Charles Nash — served in the 1800s.

Then from 1877 to 1990, Louisiana sent zero Black people to Congress. Zero. For 113 years.

In 1990, Black Louisiana finally got a member of Congress again. Since then, white voters have elected 25 members. Black voters have had 4.

All 4 were in the same room fighting to keep the two seats Black Louisiana fought for.

Don’t tell us this isn’t about denying Black people representation. It always has been.

@repcleofields_ and @reptroycarter were joined by former Congressman Cedric Richmond and William Jefferson to let the record be clear that Black voters are due fair maps.

This image should put things into perspective for you.

Today at the state Capitol, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee will vote on which congressional map Louisiana will have.

Share if you care 🦾

Derek Mobley applied to over 100 jobs. He was rejected from every single one. Several rejections came at 1am, within minutes of submitting.

He just became the lead plaintiff in the largest AI lawsuit ever certified.

May 2025, Judge Rita Lin granted preliminary certification of a nationwide ADEA collective in Mobley v. Workday. Workday's own court filings represent that 1.1 billion job applications were rejected through its software in the relevant period. The court discussed potential class size in the hundreds of millions.

If you're over 40 and you applied to a Fortune 500 in the last 7 years, your application was probably processed by Workday. You may be in the class.

The legal precedent matters more than the headline number. For decades, the vendor screening applicants for an employer was not directly liable under Title VII. The employer was the only defendant. In July 2024, Judge Lin ruled the AI vendor itself qualifies as an "agent" of the employer and can be sued directly. First time. The "we're just the tools" defense evaporated in a single ruling.

Same precedent now extends to every HR tech AI vendor in the pipeline. Greenhouse. Eightfold. HireVue. Paradox. None of it is priced into any of their valuations.

Combine that with the rest of 2024. Air Canada lost in February for $812 because its chatbot hallucinated a refund policy, killing the chatbot-as-separate-entity defense. iTutorGroup paid $365K to the EEOC, confirming the algorithm doing the discriminating moves liability nowhere. Gemini cost Alphabet roughly $90B in market cap in days for one weekend of bad image generation.

Every legal shield around AI in production got tested in court and lost. The AI PMs interviewing for foundation model roles can recite all four by month. Most engineers shipping AI at work cannot.

Did you know that Morgan State University is the only HBCU in the nation and the only institution of higher education in Maryland that offers a Bachelor of Science degree in actuarial science?

At the recent Morgan Momentum event, the program’s dedication to student success and real-world opportunities was proudly celebrated.

A federal judge just blocked Gov. Jeff Landry from stopping Calvin Duncan from taking office as Clerk of Criminal District Court.

At midnight, @calvin4clerk officially becomes Clerk.

Congratulations, Black man. The fight continues.

Tia and Jasmin Criss, seniors at Cheyney University, the oldest historically Black university in the country, are less than two weeks away from graduating as valedictorian and salutatorian.

Just three minutes older than Jasmine, Tia said the honors of being named class valedictorian and salutatorian "just happened."

The twin sisters are graduates of Philadelphia High School for Girls. They credit their parents for giving them the discipline to aim high.
