Tell Us Your Good Deed

I am a mentor for Workforce Alliance Youth Mentor. I mentor a young teenager from New Haven, giving her gimps at what she can do in her future. Us mentors help motivate the teenagers, push them to attend college and to do better. I also do a lot community service through my sorority Sigma Gamma Rho sorority Inc. We raise awareness for AIDS, Cancer, and the need for Bone Marrow Donors. We teach Children about finances, help them develop essential life skills, deal with peer pressure and negativity, and supply them with school supplies.

Why are you participating?

I believe that labels restrict our minds to beautiful amazing people. If we judge just based on the stereotypes, we miss out on an amazing human beings. We are all divers, and when we accept it and bind together we can form beautiful friendships and stop hatred, anger, and misunderstanding.
