“My Native American ancestry has played an important role in shaping how I see the world. From an early age I became aware of the disparity between ways of life in different parts of the United States. I vividly remember visiting the poverty of Native American reservations and thinking that we can’t possibly be in the same country where people are living in multi-million dollar mansions.
As I have grown, I have had the opportunity to travel overseas which has served to broaden my awareness and interest in humanitarian issues. I’m dedicated to creating better environments for people wherever there is a need and desire for them.”

“In meeting with Elizabeth Davis and the rest of team, I feel comfortable to speak for AfHdc that we are both honored and energized to work on the Akilah Institute. Both their mission and compassion that was presented had convinced me that we need to support their noble efforts to improve the education of these Rwandan women. From my visit to Rwanda in 2008 and meeting all the people involved in the project (both in the US and in Rwanda) truly inspires me to make this vision, this dream a reality.”
“After receiving my Master’s Degree I was searching for my place in the world of architecture. When I first decided to work with AfHdc I thought I would just meet some new people and participate with some volunteer work. I had no idea the impact that this organization would have on my life.
