On March 19, 2024, a frightening incident shook Meah Poret's world when her car unexpectedly caught fire on the campus of Xavier University. Meah, a dedicated second-year undergraduate student at Xavier University and an essential member of the New Orleans dance community, relies heavily on her vehicle to navigate her busy life. As a commuter student, her car is not just a mode of transportation but a lifeline to her education, her passion for dance, and her commitment to community service.
