So I told my mom that we were making a funny video by reading tongue twisters off a sheet of paper, BUT what I actually got her to read was my acceptance into A&M Medical School 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/Kpeqhm8i7x

Every second was for them and I can't thank them enough. Hug a loved one today, never forget your roots, and keep grinding y'all!"
