Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
What can an African-American female bring to the table? How does your perspective matter? You should stay at home with your child.
How I responded:
Do not let anyone tell you what you can not do. The best way to prove someone wrong is to succeed.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
People expected me to drop out of college because I had a child during my sophomore year. I felt it was more important to my child to complete my education.
My parents were unable to help navigate me through the application and financial process for college since they never attended.
