My name is Elizabeth Lackey, and I am a senior at Charles R. Drew Charter School. I was born on February 1st, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia. I am the first child to my parents, Jonathan and DeLaci, and the older sister to my brother Jonathan II. I've attended Drew my entire life, starting at East Lake's Sheltering Arms and growing in Elementary Academy, Junior Academy, and now Senior Academy. I enjoy many things, but my favorite pastimes are listening to music, hiking & walking, creating digital art, and watching movies with my friends and family.

After graduation, I plan to attend Georgia State University to pursue a bachelor's degree in Film/TV. In between earning my degree, I'll take up part-time jobs.
I'd like to bring diversity to whatever field I choose to work in. Young Black girls deserve to see themselves reflected in every area and field of work.
I also plan to start investing and grow generational wealth for my children and descendants to come.
