#tamikacross

When a passenger on a @delta flight nearly died and was in need of medical assistance, Doctor #TamikaCross stepped up to assist. She was met with resistance from the crew who asserted that they were looking for ‘actual physicians.’ As if Tamika, a black woman, couldn’t possibly be a licensed practitioner of medicine. Because black women are not only educated and talented but also resourceful and capable of the UTMOST class, what could have simply remained a heinous instance of all too common discrimination has turned into a rallying cry to remind the world that #BlackGirlMagic exists in every profession. This is #WhatADoctorLookLike Get acquainted. Sharing the lovely @paging.dr.dre ’s addition to the hashtag. First they demonize us for being shapely and daring to teach, then they accost us in the bank while simply trying to cash a check from the high paying job we are completely qualified for- now this? How many times do we need to tell you we can do anything? Y'all gon get this #BlackGirlMagic today whether you want it or not! #BlackGirlsRock
