Amir Smith | Non-Profit Founder & Youngest UN Delegate and Consultant

“For now, I’m not sure what I want the world to know about me, maybe that I want to be remembered as that one person that always tried to help out, or the one was never scared to speak his mind, but the thing I know for sure is I want to be remebered as someone that had an open mind, the one that tried (failed or not) or that hopefully what I do in my future is remebered. That I did the best I possibly could for the people that I want to serve, and for sure to become the best role model I could be to represent and advocate for platforms that many people won’t speak on, getting the hard topics out, and building others ideas of themself, when I have a bigger platform for, as well as being a bi-partisan contributer.” Read more>>

Patreece Dade-Ohakam | Gospel Singer/Songwriter, Indie Artist, Poet, Author, Actress & Teaching Artist

I want my legacy to be about resiliency and faith. I sincerely believe that the recipe for enduring life’s trying times is about having the courage and made up mind to get back up and keep going even when life circumstances come to knock you on your behind. I have told my son that I want him to be able to share with people my sincere love of the Lord, my faith in him and my relianc upon.. I am not ashamed of that. I believe that my own personal grit and my hope in my God has gave the stamina to keep going, creating and loving others even in the midst of setbacks and pains. I also want him to to be able to tell others how much I valued the various gifts that God blessed me with, and how I found joy in sharing them with others to inspire and encourage them. Read more>>
