“WHY BRG?” IN HER OWN WORDS
I have always known it was my purpose in life to work to empower individuals to reach their full potential, particularly society’s most marginalized. Since the 2nd grade, I have been involved in extracurriculars that afforded me the opportunity to give back. Attending Emory University in a historically significant city such as Atlanta, GA, I began to maximize the time I spent on community organizing and social entrepreneurship. After taking this up as one of my concentrations in business school, I knew I had to find a way to do this work full time once I graduated.
