My long-term vision includes giving back to Morehouse and the Black community by opening a production studio in Atlanta. I want to create opportunities for young Black filmmakers to break into the industry, offering them a platform that I wished existed for myself. I also plan to support Morehouse’s film program by providing funding for equipment and offering scholarships to students in need. Like me, many Black students face financial hurdles that can

stand in the way of their education.

 I plan to give back to my community and alma mater by staying engaged with Spelman as an alumna. I also intend to support future students through professional opportunities. Deloitte has a recurring AUC team, and I look forward to joining it once I am a full-time employee. Through this team, I will stay connected with Spelman and the broader Atlanta University Center (AUC) community, giving back to both current students and the institution that has shaped me.

I am committed to giving back to my community, including Morehouse, in several ways. I  have been fortunate to mentor underserved youth in the Atlanta area as an Oprah Scholar, an  experience that has shown me the transformative power of education and mentorship. I plan to  continue mentoring students, particularly those interested in business and finance, helping them  navigate their educational and career journeys. In addition, I aim to use my skills in financial literacy to  develop initiatives that empower communities by teaching them how to manage their finances, invest,  and build generational wealth. As an aspiring CPA, I intend to give back to Morehouse by offering  guidance and mentorship to future students, ensuring that they have the resources and support they  need to thrive.

A Biology, Environmental Science Major  from Douglasville, GA is going to change the world by revolutionizing our understanding of plants to improve food security for at risk communities through sustainable agriculture and innovation.
