Mission

I wrote and published Black Excellence: 20 Stories about Rising from Ordinary to Extraordinary to educate, inspire, and inform through the examples of excellence in the Black community. One way that I've decided to expand that mission is to start the Black Excellence Scholarship, where we help fund scholars who demonstrate the qualities discussed in the book. I want the Black Excellence scholarship to be a source of relief and help some of our communities brightest access the education that will help them pursue excellence and make an impact in the community.

This scholarship is not just financial support—it is a reminder that excellence, perseverance, and community impact matter. With this opportunity, I will continue striving for academic and professional success, carrying forward the values of Black excellence. Thank you for believing in my potential and for investing in my future. I am deeply grateful and inspired to pay it forward.

    Thank you for considering me for the Black Excellence Scholarship. I firmly believe, as the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.” Be blessed, Respectfully,
