What's Her Inspiring Achievements?
Karima is inspirational all the way around but what inspires me the most is her graduating from a 4 year college and her helping others like me acheive the same thing. In the area I grown up in its not common that kids my age get to see their graduation day let alone their first day to college! Karima has made it her misson to make that change within the community. Her drive to push teens to be young adults at all cost using all resources and then some touches the warmest place in my heart and mnd. IT makes my drive harder to acheive the things I once thought were just dreams.All her behind the scene work for grants,scholarships never go unnoticed or took for granted. Her and Domine have been doing this for about 6 years and within those 6 years they have helped dozens of kids from classes 2021-2025 attended some of the best schools. By leading workshops, FREE college tours in and out of state,helping kids build portfolios,credit recovery, even sometimes taking it a step further to help build academic plans that fit just right so that these kids she takes in as her own meet their goals.
