This fall, I’ll be attending New York Institute of Technology to study architecture. Your gifts will support me with covering the school costs that my Presidential scholarship does not meet.

Why I’m Inviting You In
The word Wajenzi means building in Swahili. It’s not just about blueprints and structures, it’s about futures, families, and freedom. The Wajenzi Circle is a community of people who believe in my calling, and who I am accountable to as I learn, design, and grow.
Our Goal: $20,000 by July 31st
This will help cover the real costs of school that scholarships don’t fully meet:
• Housing and travel
• Meals, materials, and technology
• Tuition gaps and unexpected needs
Your support lets me walk forward into New York Tech’s Honors Program with clarity, and stay focused on building something that serves our people. This is not just a fundraiser. It’s a foundation. A sacred agreement between me and the village that has shaped me, and that I will serve.
Give Once or Monthly, You Choose
You can give monthly or make a one-time gift, both are deeply appreciated and equally honored. Your tier is based on the total amount you’re giving across the year. Each tier includes thank-you gifts from me and a way for us to stay connected as I move through school and continue building.
Whether you give once or monthly, this is a relationship, not a transaction. And I will be walking with you, just like you’re walking with me.
Why Me?
If this is your first time hearing my name, here’s a little of my story:
• I’ve been homeschooled, world-schooled, and Afrikan-centered all my life
• I built a Moorish architecture portfolio, created a Yoruba-inspired fashion line, designed my family home, and constructed a Maasai roundhouse by hand
• I was accepted to 7 colleges, including Howard, Tuskegee, RPI, NYIT, Parsons, and Morgan State
• I received over $800,000 in scholarships
• I’ve been awarded a grant to develop a UN-aligned project of my choosing.
Now I’m stepping into a new space. And I want to bring my community with me.
Why Now?
This year, race-based scholarships are disappearing. HBCUs are being targeted. Accreditation systems are shifting under our feet. I got in. I got offers. And I still need my people. The Wajenzi Circle is how I stay connected to those who made me, and those I am building for.
What You’re Building With Me
This isn’t just financial support. This is a relationship. You’re helping me walk into this chapter not as someone leaving my people behind, but as someone who is learning how to build for them.
You’ll receive:
• Monthly video updates
• Behind-the-scenes reflections from architecture school
• Artwork and design sketches
• Special gifts based on your tier
• And the honor of saying: we helped build this

Thank you.
Not just for believing in me, but for being part of what I’m building.
