Executive Director & Founder, Barrier Breakers® | Forbes 30 Under 30 | TEDx Speaker | Closing the equity gap in higher education

🌟 Exciting Announcement! 🌟 I'm thrilled to share that I will be speaking at an upcoming TEDxAsburyPark event. In my talk, "Breaking Barriers, Building Futures: The Power of First-Generation Minds in Shaping Business Success," I'll dive into the untapped potential of first-generation graduates and how our unique perspectives and resilience are reshaping the business landscape. From personal stories to groundbreaking research, we'll explore the pivotal role first-gen trailblazers play in driving innovation and diversity in the workplace. But it's more than just stories and statistics. It's about understanding the depth of impact that support, mentorship, and policies can have on unleashing the power of those who break through barriers to build brighter futures for themselves and the companies they are part of. If you're looking for tangible ways to support first-generation students and increase business success and innovation nationwide, then you won't want to miss this. Join me and my fellow speakers at the Bell Works Theater on April 20 for a live event featuring TED talks and music centered around the theme of UNITY. You can get your tickets at a 20% discount if you use my link: bit.ly/Unity-20 And of course, if you're looking for a way to make impact today, consider donating to Barrier Breakers®, Inc. where we are on a mission to support 10,000 first-generation students in their college and law school goals! https://lnkd.in/eHRJn3rW Let's break barriers and build futures together. #TedxTalk #FirstGenerationSuccess #Innovation #DiversityInBusiness
