As a mom and youth mentor, my heart has always been for our children, to reach them before the world does.
I’ve seen firsthand how early exposure, belief, and belonging can shape a young person’s path. SUCCEED Academy™ was born from that desire, to give every child the opportunity to see themselves as leaders, scholars, and world changers.
Though I didn’t attend an HBCU, I was deeply moved by their legacy of pride, unity, and excellence. I wanted to bring that same spirit to students earlier in life, to help them find their voice, their confidence, and their purpose.
SUCCEED is more than an academy; it’s a movement of hope and heritage. Every program, every League, and every scholar represents a future leader who will not only succeed but inspire others to do the same.
