" Nothing brings me more satisfaction than giving young talent a purpose, a sense of inclusion, and enabling them to excel. I'm grateful to the Millennium Fellowship for uniting a community from all corners of the globe and allowing me to lead. This year, we aim to do something completely new, impact countless people, and leave an example for future cohorts. "
