What is a place that shaped you, and how does it give you purpose?

I grew up in Milford, Ohio, a village of less than 10,000 with few sidewalks and even fewer people of color. I experienced racism firsthand, particularly the kind that sets lower expectations based on the color of one’s skin. I learned how to turn “nos” into “why nots,” breaking stereotypes and challenging beliefs by being the “first” across every activity and award available at my high school.
