“We never had nothing handed, took nothing for granted. ‘Cause aint no tuition for having no ambition.” _______________________________________ 🙏🏾The last few days have literally been some of the best days of my life. This journey has been challenging but by the grace of God and my giant support system (both pictured and not pictured), I have been able to make it to this point. This white coat signifies many years of long days and nights, failures, retries, and growth. To me, this has never been about simply being “smart” or academically “gifted” but rather the work ethic and the passion you bring to the table. Knowledge is useless if used maliciously or if not shared with others who could benefit. Halfway there, I am excited for what is coming next and the challenges that lie ahead. Thank to everyone who has every looked out for me or showed any type of support throughout this journey! 1/2 Doctor of Podiatric medicine lol 🙌🏾 _______________________________________ #blackdoctors #wakandaforever #reseaudocteur #podiatrylife #whitecoatceremony #buspm #blackboyjoy #classof2020 (at Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMjx4cHZHY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q2vdturfbs8

Happy Mother’s day to one of the dopest humans I’ve ever encountered! You have taught me to be fearless, resilient, humble, to speak/act up when necessary, to be secure in who I am at all times, what it means to have a backbone (amongst several other things), and to be selfless, giving without expecting anything back. Any good quality that I possess is attributed to you. If I keep writing, I’ll write a book so happy mother’s day to all! 😊 (at Pembroke Pines, Florida)

Year 2 finito! 🙌🏾 — Always remember your purpose and stay true.

In light of recent events such as the @hm “monkey” sweater and @realdonaldtrump referring to Haiti and other countries as “shithole countries”, I’m going to drop this here. As sad and alarming as these statements/events may be, I’m usually not surprised by them. In a country who’s “freedom and justice for all...” was based and built on the systematic racism and marginalization of several various groups, it make sense why #45 and others like him continues to make such remarks and think in such a way. To those of you who keep making excuses for YOUR president, you are part of the problem. This isn’t simply about politics and race (for you simple minded individuals), but rather a HUMANE issue. Regardless of how anyone or how anything tries to oppress me, I will always rise above. Proud immigrant, Proud of my heritage, Proud of everything. If this post bothers you, dig deep and filter the hatred w/in your soul beloved. Peace, love, and happiness to all. #haiti #1804 #firstfreeblackrepublic #notmypresident #proudhaitian #resilience 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 📷 and edits by @jessifer902 📸 (at Haiti)

While in the Gym about 2 hours ago, I received a call that changed my life. With great and humble pleasure, I have been accepted to the Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine! The failures, trials and tribulations that I endured on this journey is the reason why I was able to grow and end up here today. The timing of everything amazes me. I applied to Podiatry schools about month ago, received an interview invite Jun 3rd (A DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY), interviewed this past Monday, with the decision coming today. To the kid sitting in front of his/her advisor telling them "maybe you should reconsider your career" DON'T GIVE UP! Have faith in your abilities and keep working! Thank you to all that have supported me on this journey thus far. From mentors, advisors, friends, family, and former classmates and such who are currently in medical school (you guys made me hungry! Lol). Miami, I will see you in August! #DPM #BUSPM #BarryUniversity #Miami
