Exactly 52 years ago my grandma boarded a bus, pregnant and alone at the age of 17, from a small poor plantation town in Mississippi to New York to give her child and their children a chance for a better tomorrow. It is because of her sacrifices, the countless sacrifices of my immigrant Jamaican father, my fearless mother and the everlasting, ever-providing grace and love of GOD, that I’ve accomplished all that I have today, and will be graduating from Yale Law School this spring. I graduated from Harvard University in 2019 and was on a recent season of The Bachelor on ABC.
