Nancy Abu-Bonsrah Johns Hopkins First Black Female Neurosurgeon ResidentThe most important day for fourth year medical students is the third Friday in March, when they find out where they have been accepted for their residency program. Its called Match Day. For medical student Nancy Abu-Bonsrah, it also became the day she made history as the first Black woman to become a neurosurgery resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
After moving from Ghana to the United States with her parents at age 15, Abu-Bonsrah went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and chemistry from Mount St. Marys University. In 2012, she started her medical student journey at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where she will graduate as the first doctor in her family. Upon completion of her neurosurgery training residency program, Abu-Bonsrah is also set to become the first Black woman neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins. Abu-Bonsrah shared the good news on her personal Facebook page.

Congratulations for all your hard work, Nancy. Johns Hopkins, First Black Female Neurosurgeon Resident. Brava. You are an inspiration to girls everywhere and to think that you are an immigrant from Ghana.
Trump hates women like her, she just isn't white enough. A brilliant black woman from, according to Trump, a "shithole country" just isn't good enough for America according to the dumb ass racist, sexist pig that resides in our white house.

(24,629 posts)especially non-white ones. They must feel totally insecure to not appreciate intelligence in others. They can't compete intellectually so they drag out the childish putdowns.

(83,977 posts)Sad, but true fact.
The GOP, basically all male, seem to be very insecure with women and women of color. They are terrified of us because they know we are coming for them. Their time is over.

(24,629 posts)are you going to the March this year? I know your time is tight now. My sister and I are going to Asheville, NC. I'm not sure we can go the entire route, but it appears to be fairly flat, so we will give it a try. We missed it last year because both of us were nursing bad backs, but we feel pretty good right now. We certainly feel both the need and urgency to make the statement...LOUDLY.

(83,977 posts)My friend has not gotten back to me. I want to be there. I did it with a bum leg last year. The crowd was massive and it was over six hours from start to finish. We were stuck inside the Boston Common after the speech's...took over an hour to get out after that just to march. Lol~ don't drink much water...we could not see a potty.
It was awesome. It started out as a gloomy day...the speeches started and then the sun broke through and shined on us all.
Think about that. The sun came out to shine on women.
PS..............my friend just texted me. We are ON!
I love this.

(3,741 posts)when they see a successful black person. Add to that , a woman and an immigrant, that would surely make they heads explode. Congrats to Nancy!

(23,364 posts)THIS is what being an American means. Ah, I am struggling tonight. Full of emotion and bile in my throat towards the pResident of the People's House who harbors such contempt for immigrants, women, people of color and anyone who is not born in his image. There are people cheering for him tonight and it is heartbreaking.
Thank you she for this ray of sunshine....I sorely needed it tonight. Cheers for Dr. Abu-Bonsrah!!!!

(3,064 posts)The horrible lurch this country has taken will deprive us of many fine young people such as yourself.
The Orange nutcase and his idiot followers arent worth your fingernail clippings. They dont deserve you and what you have already accomplished in your young life.
But the many people whose lives will be saved or made
much better because of all the hard work youve put in do deserve you. But you already know that. Blessings upon you.

(7,402 posts)Worked his way through community college in Indiana as a janitor, and was accepted into Johns Hopkins. Straight A's, profoundly intelligent and moral, now he's going to grad school. My boy's a Bloomberg scholar, Phi Beta Kappa, says that George is the smartest and hardest-working student on the planet.
Sad that we would even have to offer up examples. The truth is that the Wretched Refuse has always been what makes us strong as a nation. It's always been the truth. And idiots like President Shithole are what makes us weak.

(83,977 posts)Now we have the Shithole denying he said that...when we all know that is exactly what he said.
Good for your son's best friend George. We need more like him, not less.

(523 posts)Knowing of the grinding widespread poverty and privation in Haiti and some of the African countries, I might be inclined to bundled them in the category used by Donald Trump (probably cleaning up the name of the category for family TV), but that is the reason so many of the people there want to come here. The people themselves are usually hardworking, industrious, intelligent, and honest and they frequently arrive with little more than the clothes on their back and within a decade or so are very solid members of thriving communities, with children who can aspire to even better thing (something not possible in their home country).
Sending refugees and immigrants back to countries recognized for being so backward and wretched is practically a war crime.
And, while it's easy to disparage Haiti and much of Africa, I really really doubt that Norway is as poor, backward, corrupt, and benighted.
