𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘂𝗽, 𝘀𝗶𝘀… 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁! ✨ What a full-circle moment to return to the National Medical Association Annual Conference—not just as an attendee, but as a 2x speaker and alongside the phenomenal @Corey L. Hartman, MD, FAAD ‼️🎤 And even sweeter running into my fellow Wahoo (IG) @kristilynwashingtonmd, who is now the Region 2 Chair of the National Medical Association! 👏🏾 Because how did we go from stressing over Chem and Bio exams at UVA to THIS?! I’m constantly reminded of how far I’ve come. From the little girl who only ever wanted to be a physician, to fighting tirelessly for the opportunity to become a dermatologist…to now being blessed with opportunities to pour back into my derm colleagues by sharing the lessons, mistakes, and pearls I’ve picked up along the way. 🙌🏾 Sometimes you’re so busy chasing the next goal that you forget—you’re already living in some of the moments your younger self prayed for. 🥹✨ Keep going, sis. You’ll look up one day and realize you made it further than you ever imagined. 🤎 #dermatologist #dermlife #blackdoctors #skintok #phenomenalwoman
