" The number one way to pursue happiness is by helping others and what better way to help others than through empowerment. The Millennium Fellowship will offer a variety of professional development skills that will contribute to the growth of my purpose. With the skills and values, I acquire from the Millennium Fellowship I can create an alliance of understanding to encourage a meaningful change. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Let Them Hear You
My project entitled Let Them Hear You is a collection of poetry designed to hold space for others. Through sharing my creative works I have set the stage for meaningful conversations. In doing so our campus community has come together to share their challenges regarding diversity and how we can better serve one another. Not only has my poetry inspired my community to use their voice but it has established a comfortable environment where can empower one another.
About the Millennium Fellow

She was born in Clearwater, Florida, and now lives in Southwest Florida earning her education in Psychology at Florida Gulf Coast University. Niesha always knew she had a desire to make a difference in the world and through her work, as a poet, she has cultivated a theme of justice and what her experiences were like growing up to the inequalities she and many others still face today.

Throughout her experience in various leadership roles in high school and now college she has built a foundation of skills to empower others to make a difference.
