This holiday season, I’m raising funds for Minds Matter, a nonprofit I volunteer with that’s close to my heart.
Minds Matter empowers high-achieving, underprivileged high school students with mentoring, academic support, and leadership development to help them achieve their dream of attending college.
I’ve seen the transformative impact firsthand—providing SAT prep, writing workshops, and resources to break the cycle of poverty and create generational change.
Your donation directly funds these programs and makes a real difference. Your support means so much to me and to the incredible students we serve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

MMBay is an education nonprofit that connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world.
Graduating from a selective college is the most reliable way for low-income students to access well-resourced networks and competitive careers, leave poverty behind, and create their desired future. Yet, only 3% of high-achieving low-income students in the U.S. graduate from a selective college.
MMBay solves for college “undermatching”: the underrepresentation of high-achieving, low-income students at selective colleges across the country. Founded in 2010, MMBay have graduated over 200 alumni: 100% have been accepted to 4-year colleges, 75% attend the most selective colleges in the country, and 100% have graduated from college within 4 years.
