I’m currently 22 years old. In my free time I like togo to the gym, go shopping, and spend time with my friends and family — we love to watch Marvel movies,travel to new places, and just go to our local Target. A fun fact about me is that I want to travel to Barcelonawith my two sisters. Ever since we saw Cheetah Girls 2, we wanted to recreate the famous scene wherethey are singing ‘Strut’ throughout Barcelona. When I do get a chance to visit, I want to see the differentattractions like the Park Güell, and the Sagrada Familia.HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT PEACEPLAYERS?I first learned about PeacePlayers from my mom. She found a basketball leadership program and said that Ishould sign up. My mom learned about PeacePlayers from Jasmine [Cooper, PeacePlayers Detroit Director].They were close friends before I became involved. She contacted Coop to see if she knew of any summeropportunities that I could benefit from while I was on summer break from college. After hearing whatPeacePlayers was and how it could help me network with different people in a field I wanted to pursue, Iwas eager to figure out what the program was about. From then on I fell in love with the program and whatit has to offer.PEACEPLAYERS UNITED STATES STORYBOOK29+,
