It’s fact that black doctors account for <5% of US doctors It’s the fact that we overcame all the odds It’s the fact that giving up wasn’t an option It’s the fact that we believed in ourselves It’s the fact that we built a fire in our hearts and proved them wrong It’s the fact that now we’re in a position where we can empower others #RepresentationMatters Regardless of who you are in this world, life is full of challenges. Whatever your goals or dreams, you’re bound to encounter obstacles before hitting your targets. You’ll always have to fight through hardships and suffer your fair share of pain before you achieve success. But once you reach that success you’ve been working for, it’ll be that much sweeter. When everything seems to be going wrong, the question is – what will you do? Will you give up or will you persist and keep fighting past the hurdles and obstacles? If your endeavor is driven and fueled by purpose, then giving up is never an option. You’ll find the courage and persistence to look past the problems and difficulties along your path and instead focus on finding solutions.
