<div>Help Imani Stay in School &amp; Build a Global Legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve supported parents-to-be, guided therapy clients, served military commanders and families. I have held space for healing across continents—but nothing compares to the love and devotion I hold for my incredible children. They challenge me every day to grow, stretch, and lead by example.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And one of them, Imani, is not just brilliant. She’s bold, bilingual, and building a legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imani is currently studying <a href="https://www.nucba.ac.jp/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nagoya University of Commerce &amp; Business (NUCB)</a>in Japan. Her dream is to work internationally and help expand our family’s mental health and life coaching business, serving people across borders and breaking generational cycles through culturally rooted care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we’re facing a challenge that love alone can’t solve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Young Leader Who Keeps Rising<a href="https://www.nucba.ac.jp/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NUCB</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Imani has faced more transitions than most students her age. Due to my work with the U.S. military, she attended multiple in <strong>three countries</strong>. Through every move, she remained focused, adaptable, and determined. Even after losing her grandfather—her greatest cheerleader—<em>she held herself and our family with grace.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>She’s become a scholar, athlete, musician, martial artist, visual artist, and actress—all while becoming fluent in Japanese.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She earned an <em>academic letter</em> and an <em>athletic letter</em>, and she made history—alongside her younger sister—as one of the <strong>first American students to successfully thrive</strong> in the local host nation school system. Where previous students had struggled to stay even three months, Imani helped establish a new standard—<em>eight years of excellence</em>. Her perseverance broke through language barriers, bullying, and cultural hurdles, transforming foreign soil into home and <strong>paving the way for future American children to follow</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Urgent Need: Tuition
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because NUCB is an international university, our family does NOT qualify for FAFSA, Parent PLUS Loans, private student loans, or any other form of U.S. government financial aid.
</div>
<div>Every expense to include:
</div>
<div>Tuition
</div>
<div>Housing
</div>
<div>Transportation
</div>
<div>Meals
</div>
<div>Healthcare
</div>
<div><strong><em>must be paid up front</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a full-time federal employee supporting the military overseas, I’ve stretched every dollar to the max to make this work over the past year. But we are now at a critical turning point.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why Your Support Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will <strong>go directly</strong> toward Imani’s <strong>tuition and living expenses</strong> for the upcoming academic year, ensuring she stays enrolled and focused on her education—not overwhelmed by financial hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You won’t just be helping a student—you’ll be <strong>investing in a future global leader</strong>: a young Black woman devoted to healing, equity, and building bridges between cultures and communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve followed our family’s journey, you’ve seen her shine.
</div>
<div>Now, I’m asking you to help her continue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every Contribution Counts
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, your support lifts the weight and fuels a dream rooted in purpose, excellence, and legacy. Any additional funds raised will go toward her third year of study.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate. Please share.
</div>
<div>Keep Imani in your thoughts and prayers as she continues to walk boldly toward her future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From our hearts to yours—thank you for being part of her village.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div>Ronella
</div>
