MENTEE’S ANECDOTE: Rakia has challenged me in many aspects mentally as a writer and as a person. Every time when I would write a piece, she would help me to go deeper to pick out the potential in my writing that I didn’t always see myself when it came to my own personal experiences.

MENTOR’S ANECDOTE: Maddy has reminded me how much fun and how stressful being a teenager is. I am in constant awe of how she is able to manage her studies with her lively personal life and her upcoming pressures about college.
