We believe in the power of our youth to lead in every space they enter. Kateri has shown us all that the “battle-tested” spirit of an athlete is the perfect toolset for academic success.

By earning the prestigious Davis NM Scholarship, Kateri is heading to her top-choice school, Occidental College, to focus on her future career. We celebrate her dedication, her balance, and her courage to pursue her dreams beyond the diamond. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Way to go, Kateri! Your family, community and Kewa TRUTH Youth Council family are behind you all the way. 🎓
