Faye Lewis has overcome some tough challenges to achieve her dreams, from tragic deaths in her family to working multiple jobs. Lewis shared a glimpse of her journey on Facebook, which took her from fast food restaurant employee to registered nurse.
On Sept. 6, Lewis posted a photo of all of the nametags and work IDs she has proudly worn throughout her journey to success. Her post went viral — it’s been shared more than 90,000 times — and is inspiring others to achieve their goals as well.
Lewis tells Yahoo Beauty, “It hasn’t been easy. It has been a longtime process.”
The 27-year-old shared the photo on Facebook to give herself motivation to push through the rough first weeks of graduate school where she is pursuing a doctoral degree in nursing.
“I just needed to remind myself how far I’ve come,” she says. “I never in a million years though it would also motivate other people to go for what they want.”
Lewis’s journey started over 10 years ago, when at 16 she got her first job as a KFC crew member. She used the money to help out her mom and dad and to have extra cash. But she always had her goals clear in her mind: “I knew I wanted to be a nurse,” she says. “I love to help people. I do it with joy in my heart.”

Good for her.
Some people definitely have to work harder than others, but no one is denied access to the success club.

I bet she isn't going to stop there either. She is probably planning to become a Nurse Practitioner now.

But you don't understand....look how many hurdles and IDs she had to get and overcome for her success.....
White people are privileged and don't have those id struggles.......

Not to be a downer on this woman, but she is only 27 and working on her doctorate (necessary for NP now I believe). She is not too far off the track of someone going straight through from high school. This is the experience of almost every person who gets a graduate degree and most people work through college. Good for her, but it's not like she is 45 and brought herself up by her bootstraps.

While true, this doesn't fit the narrative.
But that's awesome for her. I so appreciate people who are willing to work and not always looking for a hand out.

What from her experience is any different than any 27 year old nursing student pursuing a nursing doctorate?

White people putting black people like this that work hard and succeed on a pedestal is racist or so ive been told
It downplays privilege.
