And finally, just know there is a whole community of people who got a chance who are ready to pay it forward. You will make it. With or without any admission to a particular institution. As the saying goes, “the glory is within you.” 🖤✨

There were so many turning points in my own story, where if someone hadn’t intervened or advocated, I may have been left behind or overlooked.

But it starts with you believing in yourself.
