Two programs:

One; Atlanta Urban League Economic Empowerment Center, creating collaborations with HBCUs and Venture firms to reinvigorate AUC (underserved) communities.

Two; Spelman's Women's Resource Center Toni Cade Bambara Scholar- Activist Program. Feminist theory in action, most famous for the Nelly protest.
