At just 13 years old, Alena Analeigh Wicker has already made history—becoming the youngest African American ever accepted into medical school. 💪✨
She graduated high school at 12, and now, she’s on the fast track to becoming a doctor through the prestigious Burroughs Wellcome Scholars Early Assurance Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
But Alena’s journey started years before classrooms and acceptance letters. She’s the founder of The Brown STEM Girl, an initiative empowering young girls of color to dream big in science, technology, engineering, and math—continuing the legacy of NASA pioneer Katherine Johnson. 🚀
Today, she juggles studies at both Arizona State University and Oakwood University, proving that discipline and determination can stretch far beyond your years.
Her message to other young dreamers is simple but powerful: Your age doesn’t define your potential.
Alena isn’t just chasing her own dreams—she’s opening the door for countless others to follow. 🙏❤️
