I met Tamia doing research together in the summer of 2016 during undergrad-let me tell you, she is such a genuinely amazing person on the inside and out. She is brilliant, kind, charismatic, & her personality brightens up any room she enters. I get chills every time I see her story and how successful she has become! Dr. Potter truly has a heart of gold-I am proud to see someone who I befriended make history & inspire our upcoming generation
Thanks for sharing.
That's great!
Can I ask you a question? and please be honest. I am actually a surgeon also here in Philadelphia and I am a white male. My question is do you see a problem with that fact that this is 2023 and this is the FIRST BLACK female in their neurosurgery program? IT took all these years to find ONE FEMALE BLACK candidate that qualifies? Surely there were many BLACK female applicants in the past and NONE of them qualified until 2023? RACISM AT ITS BEST...WE need to do better as AMERICANS..I am so sick and tired of RACISM
If you are indeed as genuine as you convey, you’ve undoubtedly come across plenty of brilliant BLACK people. They’re everywhere!!! This ‘problem” is not exactly a secret!! The problem is in fact that SO MANY OTHERS ignore it, Doctor. Thank you for your input. Hope that was honest enough for you.
I love this for her!
My niece is in 11th grade and has always wanted to be a neurosurgeon.
Your story makes me know hers will come to pass some day.
She is such a hardworking kid!
Much ❤️ to you staying positive and prayed up kelelah
That is phenomenal. I'm so happy and proud of her ❤
Congratulations 👏🏽👏🏽 Dr. Potter. I did not know the percentage of Black neurosurgeons was that low. I fortunately had the pleasure of working with a Black neurosurgeon and even had the opportunity to observe one of their surgical cases.
THAT'S AMAZING!! Yeah, neurosurgeons that identify as African American are quite low. That number is lower for females as you can imagine. I get very excited whenever I see fellow minorities interested in STEM 😊
How qualified od you think she actually is? As long as affirmative action exists and for many years after it goes away (if it ever does) many including myself will NEVER under any circumstances see an african american doctor.
@@miketyson9540 If you don't mind me asking, what does Affirmative action have to do with FBA aka the African Americans that were already here?? We do not receive such benefits. Asians and Hispanics benefit more from such programs than AA ever will! I would say this lady is highly qualified. This isn't the American public school system where students are passed along. If you don't meet certain standards, you don't get to progress. Simple as that.
Vanderbilt is a private school "Mike Tyson," affirmative action doesn't apply to private schools in case you don't know
@@kayahardin1640 LOL If you believe african americans benefits form affirmative action you dont know anything. Begin LITERALLY TODAY anyone with a credit score over 680 will be forced to pay a 40 dollar premium going directly to those with a lower score. WHY? Because people with lower scores tend to be black or brown. In EVERY western country standardized testing has been thrown out. The only question which remains is how many white men with much better skills got passed over for this black girl.
Brains and beauty together!! This is so awesome. As usual, an HBCU set the foundation for her success. Congratulations Dr. Potter!!
You go girl! Keep being an inspirational to all us girls!! ❤️❤️✊
Yes blessings ❤
Hi pretty Sophia, i want to be a friend.
There needs to be more black men and women in the medical field great job 👏
You can’t increase the numbers if they don’t want it. The amazing person showed in the video wanted it bad. It requires personal drive
@@L3th4LQu4rK Key word there IF they don't want it, plenty DO their shot.
@@L3th4LQu4rK We do.
Iyanla says bm should be bus drivers
@@ijeonu2405English please. You sound like an illegal alien.
I cried. So much passion is contagious!
I pray pray pray that she doesnt experience racism and bad vibes there. So many of our women go to these schools that seem great on paper, but they treat them like crap. I know so many women this has happened to. I truly truly truly pray that she's protected and she has the best time of her life there.
She will experience those things and more. What you should be praying for that God gives her the strength to see beyond whatever obstacles are in her way and the power to push pass that negativity.
@@insightfulkittens0930 Amen ❤🙏
She WILL be able to handle whatever comes her way.
Cmon now. You know she will.Its 2023 she is not the first black person to apply there that school/program is racist and she knows that so she should be ready for whatever happens
I pray that also for her, but at the same time we all know she will be facing those obstacles but she seems strong enough to overcome
Love this for African-American women and all the people who will be served by her talents 🙌🏽
Congratulations to Dr Tamia Porter!!
Crazy to think firsts like this are still possible
I hope the program gives her a fair shake
I love your comment, and agree 100%
That moment of genuine praise and gratitude, when she took off running (in the fuscia dress). Her family didn’t realize what was happening in that moment and, by trying to hug her, (unintentionally) became a hindrance. PRAISE HIM DR. POTTER!!! 🙋🏾♀️ Well done, Tamia. Well done 👏🏾☺️
Her beautiful and resilient ancestors survived so that she could have this monumental opportunity! She’s going to change the world! 🥰
Come on Dr. Potter!!!!
And just like you were mentored may God bless you to mentor those who want to be neurosurgeons like you. 🤲🏾🙏🏽🙌🏾
Vanderbilt has the best doctors and I’m happy to see you join an amazing team!
Pure passion, lots of dedicated studying, hard work and determination! BRAVA!! 🎆🎉
Congratulations my sister nothing but God!🙏🏾❤
Let’s go!!! This is what I’m talking about 😊😊,
I love it 🥰. I’m so so so proud 🥹 of her.
Brings tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful story. God bless you Dr. Potter continue being a trailblazer!
What a great story, I don’t know her, but I’m so excited for what she will achieve in her future. Way to go girl, praying for you and your family that God keeps on blessing you and lifting you up.
Yes Heartiest congratulations Dr. Potter.Sharing your excitement,joy, disbelief,all the things we go thru on an occasion like that .God will be beside you as you maintain high standards in your practice and in your mentorship..(Proud like a motber for you).

So proud! Continue to inspire other brothers and sisters!
Why am I crying?? Congrats to her! God please protect her 🙏🏾
Congrats Dr Potter you are making me so emotional I’m so glad that I’ll have someone like you to train with in the future as I wan to become a paediatric neurosurgeon thank you!
This is AMAZING ! Congratulations to her !!! Beauty and brains !
Breaking barriers is not about the record-keeping, it’s about the building up of communities. Keep going, if you weren’t aware, you’re carrying the collective success of the black community. Keep shining
She’s NOT actually carrying the success of the Black community on her back. That idea is a myth called “fictitious kinship” & it doesn’t actually exist … except in the minds of Black people. We are all rooting for her, but her success… is her success. 😶
Congrats Dr. Potter. Be a light in the field of neurosurgery. Learn, excel and become a mentor so more intelligent young women can follow in your footsteps.
I’m so thrilled for you! 👏🏾👏🏾
Sooooooo Proud of her just got chills gurl. Be that blessings be that blessings be that blessings for another child who's looking at you now🙏🏼
That is so amazing!!!
Congratulations!!!
Hard work do pay off!! 🎈🎊🎉

Congratulations Soror, Dr. Tamia…so excited you are picking up the baton to carry on from Dr. Canaday. I was Blessed to meet her at a Rhoton Skull Based Course in the early ‘2000’s while employed with Integra’s NeuroScience Division.
We need you. So excited and I pray that you’ll develop some amazing subtemporal or glioblastoma debulking procedure(s). #MotorFunctionIntegrity #ParalysisAvoided #ComasShortTerm #ByeByeAstrocytomas

We need to stop wanting to be NFL,MLB,NBA players or even artists so bad , 33 african american neurosurgeons? we neeed more, we need more of ours brothers and sister in the medical field. Congrats to this lady for her achievments❤❤❤❤
Those professions aren’t bad. People can or perhaps should do what comes naturally to them. I also believe they shouldn’t be fighting for attention on social media, trying to become makeup or self proclaimed relationship “gurus” or gossip ”journalists” or up and coming rappers. As you might know, we’re often told we’re not “black” or white enough to become or pursue certain careers or interests. Comments like these deserve a lot more likes. I’m so ecstatic for her and her family’s monumental accomplishments.
Congratulations Dr. Potter. My oldest daughter is going into her 2nd year at UPENN majoring in pre-med Neuroscience. She wants to become a Neurosurgeon as well. Your story is very aspiring. I will share this video with her. Thank you. You are a trailblazer.
Congratulations!!! You make us proud! Wish you a very successful future helping all your patients gal!!!💖👏💕❤️💃
Congratulations Dr. Potter ❤️🎉
Not surprised because BW have always held academics in high regard. Well done.
❤❤❤❤❤ from Jamaica 🇯🇲 CONGRATULATIONS. God bless.
So happy for her!! So proud of her!!
Look to the parents. There was something they imparted there that prevented them from giving up when there were roadblocks. 🥰
Yea it’s called family and community! The thing the US is intentionally destroying in the blk community but still many overcome! U won’t take us all out!
We need more of her 👍
Your mama...and family raised a good one!!! Congratulations young lady. I dont know you but im so happy for the impact you will make in your field...Rock on!
Omg. This made me cry! I am so proud of her. Black girl magic. Omg.
I'm genuinely happy for the sister!! I wish you nothing but the best and a wonderful learning experience! And screw all the haters. Plus welcome to Nashville! Get ready for all the traffic lol
Its 4-25-2023 and Dr. Potter is now the FIRST BLACK WOMAN. Congratulations to her🎉 America needs to step up the diversity next school year please and thank you!
There could be many factors NOT race related that contributed to this like how many black women were striving for this particular achievement that qualified.
Congratulations Dr. Potter👏🏾 So beautiful and inspiring 🎉🎊
Wow. Congratulations! Wishing you the absolute best in all that you're set to achieve at Vanderbilt.
