I had the great honor and privilege of being the Student Speaker at Oakland Promise's 9th Annual Award Celebration. I am very grateful to have been able to return to my community and share my inspiring story of navigating the education system and my journey to becoming a Community Leader. During the event, I had the opportunity to meet community leaders and make valuable connections. It was a wonderful experience to inspire the next generation of Oakland Future Leaders. I hope to continue inspiring future generations and to carry on my community work. Thank you, Oakland Promise, for this opportunity. Thank you to Lucina Parada, and Pete Haviland-Eduah, MPP for making this happen!
