Proud husband alert!

Since she helped found We The Action in 2017, she has been activating pro-bono lawyers to support nonprofits. Even more important today!

Thank you to Nic Jafarieh, Jen Byers, and the entire team at the Sallie Mae Fund for their generous $75K check to DCCAP Scholars.

A real treat to have a check presentation ceremony at the Caps game tonight.

DC city-wide College Signing Day is moving to April 30th!

Cannot wait to celebrate students for committing to their education past high school.

It’s satisfying to collaborate to bring a celebration I worked on nationally to my home in DC.

Lord knows our students deserve it.

And Go, Caps, go!
