🌅 Before the sun rose, Dr. Aimee Eyram Eklu was already awake—not because she wanted to be but because she had to be. A crying baby 👶🏽, a school run 🏫, a mountain of lectures ahead 📚… but there was no room for complaints, only action. 💪🏽🔥
🎤 This is her story.
A young woman who walked into medical school carrying the dreams of generations before her. 🏥🥼 Her father tried. Her uncle tried. Both were brilliant, but life happened. She would be the first doctor in her family. 👩🏽⚕️ There was no room for failure—she was doing this for them, for herself, and for the little girl who would look up to her one day. 🌟💫
But life didn’t slow down just because she was chasing her dreams. 🏃🏽♀️💨 She wasn’t only a medical student—she was also a mother, a wife, and a businesswoman. 👶🏽❤️💼
📜 Her journey began with a BSc in Physician Assistantship Studies from Central University. But she didn’t stop there— she entered the Graduate Entry Medical Program (GEMP) and didn’t just graduate, she EXCELLED, 🏆 earning the award for Best Graduating GEMP Student in Psychological Medicine and Mental Health. 🎓✨
👶🏽 She had her first child in medical school. Then her second. She wasn’t just studying anatomy— she was growing a whole human inside her 🤰🏽while solving clinical cases. 📖 She juggled pregnancy with 7:30 AM lectures, morning sickness with intense study sessions, and breastfeeding with late-night revisions. 🌙📚
💤 Some nights, she barely slept. Some mornings, she fought through exhaustion. Some days, she was almost broke. But she never gave up! 🚀
💡 Every morning, she woke up before dawn to bathe her little girl, pack her school bag 🎒, and rush her out the door before sprinting to class herself. 🏃🏽♀️💨
💼 And then there was her business. Orders 📦 had to be fulfilled, deliveries 🚚 had to be made, and clients had to be satisfied. But she built a system. She delegated. Her husband and sister stepped in. She didn’t try to be a superwoman who did it all—she was wise enough to ask for help! 🙌🏽👨🏽👩🏽👧🏽
📌 Her biggest challenge? Being everything to everyone all at once. 🌀
👩🏽👧🏽 She was a mother who had to be present.
💍 She was a wife who had to be understanding.
📚 She was a student who could not afford to fail a single exam.
🌟 And through it all, she had to remain herself.
But she never gave up. 💪🏽 She showed up every single day. 🌟
🏆 And she didn’t just make it through medical school— she EXCELLED.
👩🏽⚕️ She left medical school not just as a doctor but as proof that women don’t just survive challenges—we CONQUER them! 🔥🏅
🎯 But Dr. Eklu isn’t stopping there.
🚀 She is the Founder of Aimee Medicals, a medical supplies venture, with plans for health-related philanthropic work.
🩺 She is the force behind Aimee Labcoats & Scrubs, producing and supplying high-quality medical apparel.
👗 She is the Manager of JanieMay Fashion, proving that a woman can dominate multiple industries at once. 💼🔥
🎥 And soon, she will be launching her own YouTube channel to share her journey and inspire others— because stories like hers deserve to be told. 🎬✨
