NYNE: “I'm a senior at Whitehaven High School. I just got my passport tonight and I’m really excited. I’m ready to go. I’ll be leaving December 15 to go to Ghana, Africa, for two weeks with the One Step Initiative. There are 15 students from all over the city in our group."
PEARL (Mom): “We know about what all is going wrong in Memphis, but this program, this trip, is a beacon of light in the midst of the clouds and shadows. I’m just so happy and excited for him to have this opportunity as a young black male in Memphis, in Tennessee, and in the United States. I think it will open his whole perspective on life. We’re just excited about what we know this is going to mean to him.”
