At 17, twins Reagan and Ricardo Razon from Raleigh, North Carolina turned a challenging high school journey into a record of excellence—earning acceptances from 15 top universities and more than $1.536 million in merit scholarships. They balanced pandemic-era learning with dedication, family support, and relentless preparation to open doors at Harvard, Yale, MIT, UPenn, Duke, UNC, WashU, Vanderbilt, and more. Reagan secured the prestigious Robertson Scholarship at Duke, a full-ride through the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program, and was also accepted into Stanford and USC. Ricardo was accepted into Georgia Tech and awarded a scholarship from Rice, ultimately choosing Harvard. Their path was built on years of hard work—accelerated classes, long study hours, and a home that valued education from the start. Beyond grades, they lead with purpose. Reagan advocates for education equity and has balanced 12+ years of pre-professional ballet with STEM ambitions. Ricardo, born with moderate bilateral hearing loss, serves as a TEDx chapter president and speaks on diversity and discrimination. Together, they’ve shown what resilience, preparation, and vision can achieve—proof that even in uncertain times, grit and guidance can change your future. Keep going, keep growing, and let your effort write the story you want the world to read.

Meet the First Black Woman Astronaut to Live and Work on the International Space Station 🚀 NASA astronaut Jessica Watkins made history in April 2022 when she launched aboard SpaceX Crew-4 and became the first Black woman to live and work on the International Space Station (ISS) for an extended mission. Born in Maryland and raised in Colorado, Watkins earned a Ph.D. in geology from UCLA and contributed to NASA’s Mars rover missions before joining the astronaut corps in 2017. Her scientific expertise and leadership made her a key member of the ISS crew, where she conducted groundbreaking research in space biology, Earth science, and technology demonstrations that will help pave the way for future missions to the Moon and Mars. Her milestone isn’t just about personal achievement—it represents a step forward in diversity and inclusion in space exploration. Despite Black astronauts contributing to NASA since the 1980s, Watkins’ mission marked the first time a Black woman took on a long-duration role aboard the ISS, breaking barriers and inspiring a new generation of explorers. As she put it before her launch, her journey is “for the kids who look like me, and for the world to know that space is for everyone.” 🌍✨

Rebecca Lee Crumpler made history in March 1864 as the first Black American woman to earn a Doctor of Medicine degree in the United States. A physician, nurse, and one of the first female physician-authors of the 19th century, she published A Book of Medical Discourses (1883), focusing on maternal and pediatric care—one of the first medical books by an African American.

Despite facing severe racism and sexism—male physicians often dismissed her prescriptions and opinions—she persevered, dedicating herself to her patients.

Legacy:

The Rebecca Lee Society, one of the first medical groups for African-American women, bears her name.

Her Boston home is featured on the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail.

In 2019, Virginia declared March 30 (National Doctors Day) as Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler Day.

Syracuse University’s Rebecca Lee Pre-Health Society supports diverse students entering health fields.

She and her husband now have granite headstones honoring her pioneering role in medicine.
