I’m a proud Girls With Impact graduate and a Howard University alum. I joined GWI at the start of high school through REACH Prep, a community program that connects students with educational opportunities. I didn’t know what I wanted to do back then, but GWI gave me confidence, business skills, and a clear direction. By the end of the program, I helped my family launch *Thomas Family Taste*, a hot sauce business based on my grandmother’s Trinidadian recipe. My little sister even followed in my footsteps—she joined GWI, launched her own bakery business, and is now heading to Hampton University. GWI didn’t just boost my skills—it helped me land full-ride scholarships to two colleges. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving. I returned to GWI for their mentorship programs as a college graduate.
