"I will cite just two out of my many reasons for signing up for #LivingMyPromise:

1) My personal lifelong mission is to help undereducated young adults to bootstrap themselves out of a cycle of poverty, lead a productive self-reliant life of dignity and go beyond to contribute to the greater good.

I currently work with Freedom Employability Academy (FEA). FEA runs an innovative employability competency program that teaches personal skills (self-confidence, drive, persistence, adaptability, ethics, etc.) FEA also builds English language skills to a level that make youth effective in the workplace, and digital literacy providing a path to lifelong learning and growth. The impact of FEA as measured by an RCT conducted by Stanford University is to move youth from poverty to middle class.

2) I believe that people fortunate enough to receive a good education should not have their creativity and resourcefulness handicapped by an inheritance..."
