Certified Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck!

You wouldn't believe her name. But she's an earned doctorate. 

An American woman with a funny name is now a professional at the trade of medical.

You might want to believe this but a woman named Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck became a doctor.

The mother of one earned her PhD in higher education in Wisconsin. She was through relentless bullying and taunting. She even blamed her mother for the ridiculous name. However she embraced it and overcame obstacles.

Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck.

The Milwuakee Journal Sentinel chronicled Vandyck's achievement. She said that her mother Maggie Johnson picked out the name and believed it would take her around the word. She also has two sisters who were named Kimberly and Robin.

Despite people dogging on "ghetto names," Vandyck she made an opportunity to ignore the hate and focus on achieving that goal.

"I've grown into my name because I am a strong woman. I've had to be."

She left home at 15 years old, graduated from high school and went on to earn her college and master's degree.

She vowed early to get her doctorate.

The Vandyck last name was earned by her marriage to Fredrick who supported her throughout her journey. Her former name is Marijuana Pepsi Sawyer.

She also said that she doesn't smoke marijuana or drink Pepsi just in case people were asking.

Remember Raven-Symone was then a host on The View. She made the comment that she wouldn't hire any woman who had a name as "Watermeloneshia."

The far-white often attack women of color for having names that aren't common to their agenda.
