I am attending the world's first Master of Arts and Science program in Reparatory Justice at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Over 12 months, I will learn how communities address historical harms through repair, justice, and collective stewardship.

My call to this work has grown from years of witnessing and experiencing injustice, personal experiences of abuse and prejudice that amplified my commitment to advocating for historically marginalized communities. This program is an opportunity to deepen that commitment by learning from specialists and gaining the knowledge and insights to contribute to equitable systemic change.

After completing this program in September of 2027, I plan to integrate what I learn into practice by collaborating with Native American communities and descendants of enslaved Africans to support self-determination, cultural revitalization, and reparative initiatives.

Student loans will cover most of my education costs, but they will not cover all the essential expenses associated with completing this program. I raised $27,000 in community support to help cover the remaining tuition and housing costs that make my year of study in Scotland possible! I feel inspired and motivated by each friend and family member who has contributed.

Throughout the school year, I am sharing monthly updates, reflections, and photos from Scotland so you can follow along the journey. If you would like to learn more about my vision or simply let me know you are cheering me on, I would love to connect with you.

Thank you for rooting for me and supporting my efforts to help build a healthier nation.
