What a time it’s been reimagining Keedy’s Greater Impact over the past 11 months. As our focus now leans more into strengthening collective partnerships while actively engaging in our community, we are beyond grateful to continue to embrace opportunities even in the midst of so many transitions. 💜

Big thank you to MJJ for having us for our 4th year in participating in their school’s Career Day. The students were a wealth of knowledge in conversations about being a Community Advocate and Sustainability! 🌎 We also thank the National Coalition for College Student Essential Needs (NCCSEN) Organization for having us in Chicago last month. Our conversation on housing, transportation, and access to healthy food have further fueled our work and commitment to advancing equality, accessibility, and justice!! 💫

“There will be those who will tell you that you can’t make it because of how you look, because of the way you talk. We all have heard that — I almost listened.”
- L. Douglas Wilder ✍🏽

Cheers to another successful week of school!! We trust that all students across the K12 Pipeline and even our college aged students are putting their best foot forward in the classroom setting. As our Founder takes on her second year as a Wilder Fellow in legacy of this icon of the city, we rest assured that conversations tailored towards our mission — “to enhance the quality of living for those around us both nationwide and globally” will continue to develop in each and every setting. 🌎

We trust that you all are having a productive week as we continue to welcome our kiddos back to school along with embracing our College-Students in their respective programs. 🍎📚

Check out our Impact Story highlight during our time as a Youth Counselor at CARP. As our Founder works through her personal assignment in supporting Justice-Impact Individuals, we’d love to learn more about the work that other organizations are doing across the Richmond Community.

Last Stop? A Tour To The White House!! ✨

As today concludes this Summer Scholar experience, I wish to give a special shoutout and thank you to for this amazing opportunity to dive deeper into the realm of higher education over the past 10 weeks.

As expressed, this internships has challenged me greatly in meeting with individuals from all walks of life, networking beyond measures, while further challenging myself in what I hope to bring to the policy sector through Keedy’s Greater Impact Inc. and beyond. 💜 I am super excited for the revamping of our mission and vision statement which will continue to be both transformational and impactful.

So, all organizations, advocacy groups, etc. on the ground supporting the K12 to Higher Education Pipeline? Please fasten your seatbelts and get ready — It’s going to take a village for what’s to come!! 🫂

“Every time I speak, I want the truth to come out.” 🗣️

Whether addressing historical and systemic injustices in educational or correctional institutions, or working in environments focused on community development, housing, or health outcomes, we aim to strip cultural barriers to success and build a lasting legacy of generational impact both through KGI Inc. & beyond.

In just a few years, we’ll be recreating this image in some way. I’m betting on myself, this organization, and every other vision that’ll be executed in due timing.. ALWAYS! 🌎✨

Creating Space For All Voices To Be Heard As One Story Continues To Unfold. 🌎

This past weekend KGI had the opportunity to partner with Scholars who are currently focusing on diverse topics in research this Summer.🫧Revisiting our Committed To The Call Workshop, created space for individuals to take back control on the life that THEY desire to embrace as both a young professional and student.

Through discussions on identity, self-reflection, and defining success, our participants shared that their greatest takeaways included reimagining these concepts for themselves. They also emphasized the importance of being flexible in their plans and maintaining a sense of balance throughout their academic journey!

As always, stay connected with us for more ways that you can become involved with future programming and workshops as such.

Continuing our weekly content that highlights our Founder’s internship experience. 🌎

Last week, Tarnika attended Postsecondary National Policy Institute (PNPI) Federal Student Aid Bootcamp underneath her role as a 2024 Summer Scholar. Aside from learning so many amazing and thought provoking things geared towards understanding the depth of FAFSA and its changes, Campus Based Aid, managing and paying off student debt, and so on—here’s some of her most touching and personal takeaways from this experience:

✅ Language and representation in these spaces matter.
✅ As the world of policy evolves, so will you.
✅ Some will plant the seeds, while others will water it. Even in the midst of pruning, something great will grow.
✅ If the conversation isn’t happening, start it. Continue to move the needle forward.

One of Tarnika’s close friends once said, “Believe, it’s the promise not the process that matters the most.”. Our personal narratives often form the bedrock of our motivation for change. Our journey is fueled by our commitment to breaking down cultural barriers of success in the K12 to Higher Education Pipeline and Tarnika’s personal interest in advocating for Justice-Impacted Individuals’ rights. Today, KGI urges you to reflect: What drives you?

Despite our time away from programming and even in the midst of reimagining this small yet mighty organization — KGI is still moving the needle in networking meetings with leaders in Think Tanks, Nonprofits, and even representatives on The Hill! ✨

This week, our Founder has had the opportunity to meet with so many individuals where she hopes to continue to elevate and curate conversations that connects the K-12 to Higher Education Pipeline!
🍎⚖️

As always, remain connected with us as we plan to navigate the remainder of this internship experience by capturing some of the wonderful things we’re taking on for you all!

Yesterday our Founder was awarded two scholarships; yet, the 2024 Jeffrey S. Cribbs, Sr. Scholarship in Philanthropy was accepted on behalf of Keedy’s Greater Impact Inc.’s commitment to public service. 🎉

We are beyond grateful for this recognition through the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government & Public Affairs at VCU. 🙌🏽 This is our first out of the many awards that we hope to receive which will contribute to building the foundation of our small, yet mighty Community-Based Organization. As always, we appreciate our generous donors and supporter!!

Happy Monday Impact Family! We hope that you are having a fantastic day and that your week is off to an amazing start! ✨

This past Saturday, our Founder had the opportunity to curate intimate conversations with college students of VCU’s McNair Program. During this experience, students were able to engage in activities and dialogue that connected to remaining Committed To The Call!! 🤩 While we do believe it’s important to discuss the nuance of “success” — we find it just as beneficial to dive deeper in some of the possibilities one may experience while getting to the other side while navigating their personal journey.

Special thank you to 🙌🏽. We look forward to connecting with you all during our Summer experiences and onward.
