“Baby girl, you don’t have to cry. Why are you crying, princess?” I spoke in a soft, sympathetic voice to my five-year-old patient.
Her name was Destiny, and her mother had brought her to see me because she had a cold. It was flu season, and I cannot tell you how many runny noses, runny eyes, coughs that sounded like these little kids had bronchitis, and sneezes that were loud and powerful enough to shake the walls that I had seen. I always felt bad when sick kids came into the office. Little babies in there today, as young as six months old, had temperatures as high as 105.
I remember three years ago when I was still wet behind the ears. It would always pain me to tend to a sick child. I had such a big heart, so it was easy for me to sympathize with my patients. Three years later, I could still sympathize; I just wasn’t as emotional as I was in the past.
I’m Normani… well, Doctor Normani. I received my education from The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, where I earned my bachelor’s in biology with a minor in child psychology. After that, I was eligible to enter the Medical Scholars Program, where I worked every bone in my body to obtain my medical degree.
Growing up, I always knew what I wanted. At five years old, if anyone asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, my answer would have been that I wanted to attend FAMU, become an AKA, a pediatrician, and I also wanted to be heavily involved with a church.
The love for HBCUs was in me from the very beginning. Both my parents attended FAMU, so from as young as a year old, I was in attendance for homecomings each year at FAMU, and we religiously attended the Classics. I had always been attracted to and convinced that an HBCU was for me; I loved everything about it. I loved that I could turn to my left and turn to my right, and everyone there would look like me.
Then, the whole Greek and sorority life amazed me. My mother was the reason why I wanted to pledge and become an AKA. As a little girl, I didn’t really understand the full meaning of becoming an AKA; I just knew that I loved the colors. I loved the pretty outfits that my mother would wear when she represented her sorority. It wasn’t until I got a little bit older, and I researched the organization that I learned about everything it stood for, the sistership, and everything else. That’s when I grew more eager to become a part of it. I did too. I crossed over during my junior year of college, and it was easily one of the best decisions that I’ve ever made in my life.
My mother cried tears of joy when she found out that I’d pledged. For the longest, I wasn’t allowed to say anything, although I always had a feeling that she knew what was up my sleeve. My mother was always the woman that I aspired to be like. I loved everything about her. I loved the mother she was, the wife she was, and just the type of person she was overall. I liked the fact that she wasn’t so judgmental like my father. She gave my sister and me room for error while I felt like my daddy wanted us to be perfect all the time.
We didn’t have to stand before her, free from all of our flaws, because she was the one who had brought us into this world, so she didn’t mind seeing us bare. She didn’t mind if we made mistakes, although I felt like making mistakes was something that was done very seldomly.
