Why I Do This Work
My childhood was peppered with adverse experiences, and when I look back, I see that my path to college and a successful career was far narrower than I knew. I was lucky to attend schools where I thrived academically. But my success has depended almost entirely on luck. Luck is far too central to success in America, and I’m committed to changing that as much as I can.
