Fraternity,
brotherhood,
responsibility.
Kappa Chi was the catalyst of so much personal growth,
the cause for painstaking self reflection,
and the engine for thorough work ethic.
Pledging Kappa emboldened my sense of responsibility;
The duty I have to my family,
my community,
and the world.
As a Black man, there's a lot of work to be done, internally and externally.
Thankful for my brothers because I know I'll never have to do that work alone.
"Kappa's hard,
but Kappa's fair."
If you are going to be one,
be one.
Never start anything you can't finish,
never let anything stand in the way of your goals.
Step by step,
we will reach these heights together."
"Work locally, think globally."
This mindset was informed by being able to travel the world;
Exploring religion in India,
reforesting mangroves in Thailand,
studying the culture of China,
learning the land of Jamaica,
building a playground in Morocco,
and studying abroad in Canada.
International immersion is
the most enriching experience
any student can have,
and I have plans to make this more accessible for other young Chicagoans.
2019
I flew to Lille, France to consult for a brand called Colonel Moutarde.
My team and I built out their strategy to break their hand-made French accessories into the US market.
Shortly after we pitched our strategy to the company CEO, I swapped out my pinsuit blazer for a camo jacket and took to the streets of Belgium, following maps of spraypaint and the scent of freshly brewed ale.
Leadership Fostered in Community
During my time at Georgetown,
the work I am most proud of is equity and access advocacy
for Students of Color within the McDonough School of Business,
especially in the realm of internship and employment opportunities.
