Supporting Equal Access to Education
I believe in the power of mentoring and equal access to education because I am one of the lucky ones who was not supposed to make it. Now, as I prepare to graduate from one of the nation's top universities, I cannot help but think about all the other young people who are getting left behind. Through my work with the Double Discovery Center, Transdiaspora Network, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and now, Yspaniola, I hope to create a world where everyone has equal access to quality education.
