Student-athlete Chantrell Frazier is finding success off the court, becoming the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in biochemistry at Florida International University.

It’s needless to say that it was no easy feat, and Frazier says it would not have been possible without having attended a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), Atlanta Black Star reports. Frazier’s higher education began at Savannah State University and her attendance helped established her foundation and readiness for graduate school.

“Who can look out better for us than ourselves,” Frazier said, according to Atlanta Black Star. “It prepared me to not falter. It prepared me when things got difficult not to quit.”
