As a citizen, patriot, and leader, it is my duty to use my small platform to speak the truth, arouse our collective consciousness and channel the best version of America that I know is within us all as one nation, under GOD, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. This is no time to run or be silent, it is my turn to stand tall in the breach and speak loudly at the precipice of fascism. As President Clinton said so truthfully, "There is nothing wrong with America, that can't be solved by what is right with America!" I believe that in my soul.

Kwame spoke to Verizon tech executives and students from local STEM schools on the importance of Diversity & Inclusion in STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math) career advancement and pipeline recruitment as a national kick-off to a hands-on experience building apps using MIT’s App Inventor. “The greatest opportunities in the future will be high-tech jobs in science, technology, engineering and math. Despite this potential, however, STEM fields lack diversity. Only 18 percent of women graduate from college with a computer science degree. For women of color, these numbers are even lower. African-American women make up 3 percent of students graduating with a computer science degree. Latinas and Native American make up less than 1 percent. Despite these troubling statistics, more voices are calling for action to reverse this trend. One such voice is that of Black Girls CODE – a nonprofit that Verizon is proud to partner with in 2015.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53c85c0ae4b017caa105071e/t/5f0c065b45628c2a55440db7/1594623585958/Text+-+Keynote+Highlights.png Landing Page https://static1.squarespace.com/static/53c85c0ae4b017caa105071e/t/5f10eb27e106663901a0ff56/1594944320690/Millenial+Week+with+News+Text+and+frame.png Landing Page - Millennial Week by Prudential October 2016: In partnership with Prudential Financial, Kwame led 2 fireside chat discussions on Millennial career development, professional social media strategies, entrepreneurial finance, money management, and personal brand management at MILLENNIAL WEEK DC.
