Where did you grow up?

I was born in Durham, North Carolina. This was a dominantly black community. I began commuting to the town of Cary for high school, a more heavily white area. This is where I attended a private school that gave me a better education than Durham would have.

How do you spend your free time?

Of course, I like to sleep, and I try to exercise. However, the documentary, “Living on One Dollar,” is what I enjoy watching most if I have any spare time on my hands. It’s very intriguing.

How did you end up in New York City?

After high school, I wasn’t sure what to do. I attended Santa Clara for a semester but ended up dropping out for personal health reasons. I decided to take a gap year, live at home, and get a job as a waitress. During this time, I attended a community college for a year. However, I was thirsty for a challenge. I was drawn to New York University because I liked how it values learning and provides amazing opportunities.

What are you studying at New York University?

I’m studying Journalism. I chose this because I’ve always wanted to do advocacy, and I feel like this gives me that opportunity. Journalism provides me with an avenue to always be learning new things.

What are you most proud of?

I’ve never felt prouder than when I completed my first semester at NYU. This took an abundant amount of hard work. I felt this sense of pride because I knew I did it; I picked myself back up. I raised all the money, paid my way here, and after many failures, successfully completed a semester of college.
