Black history: Did you know?
Phillis Wheatley was only 12 when she became the first female African American author published.
Despite Phyllis Wheatley’s fame, we know surprisingly little about her early life. She was taken from her home in Africa when she was seven or eight, and sold to the Wheatley family in Boston. The family taught her to read and write, and encouraged her to write poetry as soon as they witnessed her talent for it. In 1773, Phyllis published her first poem, making her the first African American to be published. She was only 12 at the time.

PROUD TO BE BLACK!
Proud of this black curly 4c hair
Proud of these black eyes
Proud of this black nose
Proud of these black lips
Proud of these black hips
Proud of these black thighs
Proud of my black culture
Proud of my black history
The black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.
I AM PROUD OF MY BLACK EVERYTHING

Things I have accomplished so far this new year:
- Lost weight and finally entered the 100s
-Began working out
-Reached 7 months in my first ever relationship.
-Started my first Fellowship
-Already secured an interview for a summer internship
Though I am still struggling with so many things: mental health, self love, finances, etc, I think is good to list out all the good things you accomplished too. Wish all you success this year 😘

Rebecca Lee Crumpler was the first Black woman to become a doctor of medicine in the United States.
After moving to Charlestown, Massachusetts in 1852, Rebecca Crumpler worked as a nurse for eight years. At that time, the lack of official schools of nursing meant she required no formal training for the job. But she certainly wasn't afraid of some hard work. She was admitted into the New England Female Medical College in 1860 and graduated four years later with her M.D.
After the end of the Civil War in 1865, Dr. Crumpler moved to Richmond, Virginia to provide medical care for the freed slaves who would otherwise have no one else to turn to. She dedicated herself to the understanding of diseases that particularly afflicted women and children, and when she eventually returned to Massachusetts, she opened her own clinic in Boston. She saw poverty stricken patients and treated them regardless of their ability to pay her.
