Dear The Posh PA, I am absolutely thrilled and incredibly grateful to have been chosen as a recipient of the 2022 Posh PA Underrepresented Minority Grant! I appreciate your dedication to empowering students who are aspiring PAs. This grant lightened my financial burden, freeing me to pour even more energy and passion into my studies and my goals of advancing global health and maternal and child health, both here in the U.S. and back home in Nigeria. As a first-generation student who has experienced the effects of health disparities, I feel empowered to advocate for healthcare equity. Your mission to boost diversity and inclusion in the PA profession resonates deeply with me, and I’m inspired by your commitment to creating opportunities for underrepresented minorities. Thank you so much for your generosity. I can’t wait to someday pay this kindness forward and contribute to the incredible legacy you’re building. With heartfelt thanks, Simisola Shabi
