Curtain: The Other Side

Abstract

Hello there! My name is Uchechi Etumnu. I graduated UTA Fall 2021 as a Biology major with a passion for health care and education. I was also previously involved in the AMAZING Mavericks for Medical Humanities Spring 2020 - Fall 2021 as one of the founding officers.

Being a doctor can be a challenging process, but being a black, female doctor is even more challenging. Although it is hard, it is never impossible.

Therefore, I wrote a poem called  “Curtain” to encourage anyone who has ever struggled with their career goals because of discrimination due to their ethnicity, faith, gender, or socioeconomic status, as well as any other experiences that may have occurred.

This is dedicated to you.

You are seen. You are loved. Never give up or quit on your dreams.
