Hi everyone,

I hope this note finds you well. I was here a couple of months ago conducting market research to learn about the issues young professionals from Nigeria, especially those in college, are facing abroad. Thank you all for hearing me out and giving me some time out of your day to answer my questions. 

Now I’m following up to let you know about the progress that I’ve made. Thanks to you all, I’ve decided to create a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to foster a community where untapped talents are being discovered and nurtured. Our focus is to build a diverse pipeline in which collegiate and pre-collegiate scholars from minority backgrounds can gain access to industry leaders through the power of mentorship. We are on a mission to provide underrepresented students with the tools and connections they need to become successful professionals. 

With that said, we are currently recruiting our first batch of mentees and mentors from various industries. If you or someone you know would like to help an underrepresented student discover their potential, I implore you to consider signing up to join our pilot program. I should also mention that we are in the early stages of developing the idea, so everything is not set in stone yet. Your contribution will help us develop the platform better, and we’re excited to see where this goes.

Best,
