Be Careful What You Believe

When a hibiscus flower lives in the desert, the desert environment does not allow this flower to be all they can be. And when this flower is judged by the cacti in their environment, they believe that they need to work harder to be more cactus-like. However, what they really need is to ignore the opinion of the cacti and go find the oasis in the desert where hibiscus flowers live and thrive. Woman of color in hematology, you are that hibiscus flower who needs to forget the opinions of the cacti around you and go find the oasis in which you thrive.
