Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive into the journey of Wil-Ann Jackson, a high school international exchange student from Jamaica. Wil-Ann was granted the Save Our Sisters Scholarship and we discussed the process and how she felt about being the first recipient. She opened up about her vibrant cultural upbringing, the highs and lows of adapting to life in America, the reality versus expectations she faced, and how her aspirations for higher learning were almost derailed.
We also explore the misconceptions and stereotypes she's encountered and how they've shaped her experience. Listen in to hear about her inspiring aspirations in nursing and education as she builds a future rooted in her heritage and her dreams.
