Harvard Residency

"The Harvard Diversity Project is an Atlanta based pipeline program that recruits, trains, and matriculates motivated black youth into Harvard's summer debate residency." But you can read that on the website. Really, the Harvard Diversity project provides a space where motivated youth come to reach the next level of academia in a space where culture is celebrated and differences are welcomed, and . They teach us about philosophy, but also about family. They teach us how to think but also how to love. This program has not only made me a better scholar, but a better leader, a better teacher, and a better friend.

The partnership that I shared with Bolu was very special to me. With both of us being motivated and sharing a passion for success, we were an unstoppable pair. We worked together seamlessly, valuing communication and respect along the way. It didn't hurt that we had similar perspectives on life, so we didn't run into many disagreements along the way. I am grateful to have had a partnership with someone I knew I could rely on during the tournament.
