Define Yourself.
Morehouse is number one when it comes to creating networks where everyone can benefit. We stand on the shoulders of so many great leaders. There are so many people with so much knowledge, and you are able to saturate yourself in so many cultures and facets of that knowledge. The relationships you build at Morehouse last a lifetime.
Redefine the World.
My mission is to eradicate poverty through financial literacy, closing the gap between the poor and the rich. Morehouse teaches you that people who go on to do outstanding things have one thing in common: an absolute surety of mission. I’ve been taught how to add value to life, and appreciate and celebrate one’s existence. I now understand my role as a leader and my position in the team of life.
