"For years I have worked in the educational field. In most settings, I noticed that African Americans and POC were vastly underrepresented and unsupported. When I discovered IYT, I was immediately drawn to the organization's mission and vision. Having the opportunity to be a part of an organization that focuses on ensuring that "YMOC are overrepresented in higher education, underrepresented in the criminal justice system and are leaders in their community" is the exact place I want and need to be."
