Thrilled and incredibly grateful to let you know I matched at my #1 choice for ophthalmology residency 🥹🩷 I’m going to be an eye surgeon!!!!! Anything is possible when you have an unwavering commitment to and belief in yourself. If you need 👁️ help/support/a friend, DM me!

🧵My best friend (Black woman) & I were pregnant at the same time 18 yrs ago. We both had preeclampsia, hers undiagnosed as her symptoms were written off. I was put on bed rest & hospitalized. She was told to relax. A week after she gave birth, the day my son was born, she died.

For many Juneteenth was unheard of until 2-3years ago so its history is greyed, but it’s important to know.  On June 19, 1865, some of the last Enslaved persons were told that they were actually free. But Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation of Proclamation on January 1, 1863

Lost 500+ followers by posting a video supporting a transman. Happy #pride to me! Can I get some RT and new followers? I’m an ER doc and #LGBTQ advocate posting educational content and my thoughts about #advocacy work in the ED 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

There is no amount of self-care or wellness that can fix a broken system. How many more residents have to suffer? Dr Nakita Mortimer may you rest in power and finally find peace🕊️

Finished my last day of medical school today! These kinds of milestones can bring up complicated feelings for a lot of us, but today I’m choosing to feel proud. This first-gen med student did it🥹

Nashville….the same city that just banned drag shows? Because gun control, reproductive rights, access to housing, food, and healthcare, etc. weren’t more pressing matters?!

Sooooo proud of this one here🥹
It’s been almost a week since I matched (yes, I soaped), and it still hasn’t fully set in. I am truly a living testament of God’s faithfulness, and He has been so good to me. Mind if I share a bit of my testimony with y’all? 1/??

I found my job as an ED scribe on Indeed, and I strongly believe this job was the catalyst for my path ultimately landing me at Northwestern as an incoming EM PGY-1. @indeed if y’all ever need an ambassador, I’m available😂
