Akeena Hall

Hometown: Bronx, New York

I was drawn to the Dyer Fellowship for the opportunity to not only strengthen my entrepreneurial skill set, but for the unique resources, workshops, and support that will help me make my dreams of being a social entrepreneur come true. Through the program, I’m hoping to gain an entrepreneurial framework for how to understand, approach and find solutions to the issues that I care about in my community back home in The Bronx. There are a lot of issues I care about, such as food security, access to equitable educational opportunities, and environmental sustainability. I’m eager to figure out how the application of my strengths, knowledge, and leadership qualities cultivate a solution that is niche to my skill set, while also making a positive impact.
