Diana Omenge on what the MSMMS scholarship has meant to her. 🌸

D is an MS3 at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas and she has been on our hearts since day one. 🤎

“Receiving the MSMMS scholarship has been both a financial blessing and a meaningful affirmation of my journey into medicine. As someone who has overcome significant financial and educational barriers, this scholarship has reminded me that there are individuals and organizations willing to invest in my education, potential, and aspirations. The scholarship has allowed me to focus more fully on my medical education by easing some of the financial burden associated with training. Instead of worrying as much about expenses, I have been able to dedicate more time and energy to studying, serving my community, and pursuing opportunities that are strengthening my growth as a future physician.” 🩷

This is exactly why we do this work. Every scholarship we fund is an investment in the future of Black medicine and D is proof of that. 🌸

Scholarship season is coming soon. Stay tuned for details! 👀🎓

Two major peer-reviewed papers in 2026 confirmed what many Black women already know in their bones: the pressure to always be strong is making us sick.

The Superwoman Schema — the expectation to remain resilient, suppress vulnerability, prioritize everyone else, and never ask for help — has been directly linked to delayed healthcare utilization, depression going untreated, chronic stress, elevated cardiovascular risk, and poor birth outcomes. (Baptiste et al., Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2026)

And yet. A Forbes investigation published July 2, 2026 documented something shifting. Black women are increasingly rejecting this schema and investing in therapy, preventive care, and their own wellbeing, not as vanity but as self-reclamation.

Rest is not weakness. Therapy is not a luxury. You are allowed to need things.

The SISTER trial just proved what community has always known. 🌿

84% treatment completion with 1-on-1 peer support.

57% without it.

The difference wasn't a new drug. It was Black women supporting Black women through high-risk endometrial cancer treatment. This is the first national randomized trial ever designed specifically for us.

Led by Dr. Kemi M. Doll at the University of Washington. Presented at the 2026 Society of Gynecologic Oncology Annual Meeting.

Swipe through all 5 slides. Then share this with every Black woman in your life.
