I’ve always believed there was another way to tackle healthcare— another way to heal without drug dependence. My solution? Found a pharmaceutical company committed to developing affordable STEM cell technology using the revenue from my first business— a sustainable clothing line. When I discovered the DYER Fellowship, I knew it was the right platform to bring that vision to reality. DYER’s personalized mentorship, hands on experience, funding opportunities, and the community of visionaries right there to support me represents the perfect place to begin my legacy. But even moreso, the DYER Fellowship is critical to me because I will be the first in my family to walk this path of entrepreneurship. I was ready to make a commitment to my vision for a better world and this fellowship alleviated many of the challenges that came with founding a business. For instance, DYER provides access to opportunities typically locked behind connections or financial capital in order to bridge my dreams to reality. As an incoming DYER Fellow, I am proud to be a part of a community that cultivates and rewards this commitment to manifesting your vision.Because the passion has always been there, even when the resources haven’t. With this Fellowship, I am given the support and guidance to confidently take risks and be the change I want to see in the world. Because I always have been— and always will be— in the business of cultivating legacy.
