" For the lives I want to impact and narratives I want to change, the Millennium Fellowship is a training ground for the skills I require. Getting the acceptance mail for the fellowship put a big smile on my face, and I do what I do so I can put that smile of the faces of hundreds of people. Impact no matter how minute, require a combination of skills and abilities that'd make it happen and with the Millennium Fellowship, I'm at the right place. "
