DEI Got Me Here? Nah, Try Hard Work, Resilience & Receipts📝 Ah yes, another day, another random, unqualified white man on the internet telling me I’m just a “DEI admit” to medical school. Imagine waking up and deciding that’s your personality. So let’s talk about it—What is DEI? Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. A framework designed to level the playing field in spaces that have historically excluded marginalized groups (based on gender, disabilities, age, sexual orientation, religion, culture, race, etc). Who benefits from DEI? Everyone! But let’s be real—who has benefited the most from systemic advantages for centuries? (Hint: NOT me.). 10 points for whoever knows in the comments! But here’s the thing: When someone tries to use DEI as an insult, it says nothing about me and everything about them—their ignorance, their fragility, their inability to fathom that a Black woman could be here because of intelligence, talent, and relentless hard work. I didn’t just work hard; I worked three times as hard to sit at this table. So no, sir, your comment didn’t offend me. But it did make me laugh. Because while you’re crying about DEI in my comments, I’m over here saving lives, collecting degrees, and making history. Try again. ☕️✨
