About

I've been selected to do a pre-law program at a prestigious university located in Baltimore, Maryland. I am deeply passionate about politics specifically focusing on inner-city issues. The two issues specifically are gun violence and education inequity. I work deeply with student-led organizations in NYC: NYC Says Enough-a student-led coalition geared to lessen the effect of gun violence in the inner-city communities of NYC where I serve as the head of Community Outreach. Additionally, I work with a coalition of students that work to desegregate NYC public schools.

What I’m Raising Money For

This summer I will be studying on the campus of a university in Baltimore. I'm raising money to cover tuition and travel cost for the university summer program.

Why You Should Give

Enrichment programs are a chance for me to leave their comfort zone, and ultimately help them build confidence, independence, and college-readiness. By lending your financial support, I will have access to the experience of a lifetime! Furthermore, this opportunity will equip me with the skills I need to be an effective attorney of color.
