    How does it feel to be the first black female neurosurgery resident at Johns Hopkins? #NancyAbuBonsrahpic.twitter.com/aghSXtfrTQ

        I would have preferred if it was not qualified with "black". Why can't it just be the first female Neurosurgeon?

        Erm because she is not the 1st female neurosurgeon trainee at Hopkins but the 1st black one....hence the qualification. Isn't it obvious ?

        That I know I am indirectly hinting at something. I don't see first "white" this or that but we continually revel in first "black" blah..bl.

        That's the whole point. It's important to recognize this milestone as part of encouraging more black women in neurosurgery

        I only feel we are still trying to prove our worth. Which is very belittling to me.

        She's not there because she black. She's there because she's qualified. Congratulations John Hopkins, Welcome to the 21st century.
