“The Rhonda Walker Foundation has created a new person in me; confident, successful and intelligent. Prior to being a member of the Foundation, I had two of these qualities, successful and intelligent, but this program helped me learn that there is no limit to either. The RWF also introduced me to a concept I had often heard but never mastered, confidence. As a young lady, I was shy and had low self-esteem and confidence. Through the Foundation, I have developed self-love, become extremely confident and realized my worth and potential. All I can do is thank the Rhonda Walker Foundation for providing me with these skills.”

Brianna is in her 5th year with the RWF and is a great leader, role model and mentor for the other teens in the organization.  Her transformation into a strong, confident and successful student, leader and athlete has been remarkable. As a senior at Renaissance High School, Brianna is an honor student and excels in varsity volleyball.   She serves as a consultant for the TLabs Accelerated Learning Center and last summer participated in a STEM Intensive program at Kettering University. Please join us as we congratulate Briana on her full ride scholarship offer from Harris Stowe and acceptance letters to date from seven other universities including Xavier, Howard University and Michigan State University!
