Chinemerem shares, “The benefits of Girls Inc. cannot be overemphasized. I grew and learned a lot with each of the Girls Inc. programs. Each program was an opportunity for me to improve my character, learn to work with others, and be more independent of my family. For those reasons, I wanted to become a youth leader to give back all that I gained from the Girls Inc. programs. I learned to be enthusiastic, lead by example, and contribute meaningfully to my community and the society at large. Girls Inc. encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and experience that “variety IS the spice of life.”

Chinemerem will be attending UC Davis in Fall of 2023.
