Not all of us are free—but here’s what I am celebrating today

Hey sis,


I’ll be honest—

I’m not really celebrating “freedom” today.

Because let’s be real… a lot of people still fighting to be seen, safe, supported, and fully free.


But today, I am celebrating something else:

The fire that can’t be extinguished.

The dream that wouldn’t die.

The story that almost stopped me—until it didn’t.


👉🏾 Today I shared a personal story on YouTube about the day my own professor told me:

“You’ll never be a doctor.”


And how that moment, instead of breaking me, built me.

Because you are not just a strong woman— you are the proof, the power, and the possibility.


Let this be your reminder:

You’ve already overcome so much.

Why stop now?


With love and belief,

Nikia
