The 2019 African American Achievement Summit brought together over 500 San Diego Unified students to celebrate their identity and experiences, maximize agency, and access information about post-secondary opportunities through the African American Lens. Our keynote speaker, Jordan Harrison, Harvard graduate and Chief Inspiration Officer at Reality Changers, as well as Superintendent, Cindy Marten kicked off the day, sharing the amazing successes achieved by our African American students. Students attended workshops throughout the day, ranging from "From the SouthEast to Africa... Self Made!" to "You Are The Author Of YOUR Story," to "A Seat at the Table: Protecting Your Black, Queer Identity in Academia." A huge thanks to SD Mesa College for hosting this amazing event as well as all of our partners in this work.
