Quote that inspires Donna

“I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else. This is not just a grab-bag candy game.” ―Toni Morrison

The best part of Donna’s job

The students are the best part. We equip students with tools so that they can elevate the global community.

Fun fact

I was the first female in my high school to be selected for the boys varsity baseball team.
