I live near Lake Michigan, and the water has always been part of who I am. But being close to the lake also made me aware of how essential water safety is.

I believe every child should have the chance to learn how to enjoy the water safely, regardless of background. By supporting this campaign, you help provide scholarships, instruction, and community programs that teach essential skills and create lasting connections to our lakes, rivers, and parks.

Please join me in supporting Making Waves and Outdoor Afro. Your donation will help more Black children and their families gain the life-saving skills and outdoor experiences they deserve.
