😤 THE PROBLEM

Mom: "I wanted Miles to take more responsibility for his college journey, but he seemed lost and our college conversations were strained.  Our relationship was suffering."

🎯 THE BREAKTHROUGH

Ms. Tamara became the bridge between us.  Miles listened to her when he wouldn't listen to me.  Ultimately, she introduced him to Morehouse - the perfect environment for him to find his purpose and grow; saving our relationship during the most stressful time.

🚀 THE RESULTS

✅ Thrived at Morehouse (the brotherhood I needed)

✅ Preserved the mom-son relationship

✅ Provided internships and opportunities not available anywhere else

✅ Set up for post-graduation success

📍 Now: Completed internships with Major League Baseball and the NBA, started his own production company, and applies his branding and sports management talents at a creative agency. 

 

"Without Ms. Tamara, I never would have discovered this brotherhood, had the opportunity to ring the bell.  She's the reason I'm a Morehouse man today" - Miles L - Morehouse '23

😤 THE PROBLEM

I knew I wanted to  be an engineer, but I was applying to colleges based on rankings, not fit.  I was only 16 when I started college, so finding the right environment and program was important.  I was struggling to express myself in my essays, and I was drowning in deadlines.

🎯 THE BREAKTHROUGH

Ms. Tamara made me find MY voice - not what I thought the admissions committee wanted to hear.  She gave me the confidence to apply to my dream school - MIT - and create a compelling application that explained why we were perfect for each other. 

🚀 THE RESULTS

✅ Accepted at MIT, Harvard, Cornell, Georgia Tech, Auburn, and UGA

✅ Awarded prestigious merit scholarships at Auburn and UGA

✅ Completed BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering at MIT

✅ Awarded full funding and grants for Ph.D. research at Berkeley

📍 Now: Ph.D. candidate at Berkeley with Hertz Foundation funding.

 

"Every essay I wrote were MY words, MY story, MY feelings. That confidence carried into everything else - even my graduate school program." - Roderick B. - MIT '20 '21

These are just some of the colleges our students were admitted to.  Who's got next?

😤 THE PROBLEM

"My school counselor knew nothing about HBCUs. I wanted  something different but had no idea how to find it."

🎯 THE BREAKTHROUGH

Ms. Tamara researched schools that actually fit my goals - not  just what sounded impressive. We found a 3+2 engineering program at Morehouse that gave me the best of both worlds. She also taught me the difference between time management and time prioritization. 

🚀 THE RESULTS

✅ Thriving at Morehouse (the HBCU experience I wanted) 

✅ Excelling at Purdue (top engineering program) 

✅ Research presentations at national conferences 

✅ PhD pathway locked in for disease research 

📍 Now: Completed Morehouse requirements, currently a biomedical engineering student at Purdue University headed for future PhD studies in disease research

 

"The organizational systems she taught me work at both schools - even with completely different teaching styles. I'm not just surviving college, I'm crushing it." - Ben B. Morehouse / Purdue '26

Finding Her Voice

😤 THE PROBLEM

"I had so much to say and every word I wrote was important. I was having trouble narrowing it down to showcase my story"

 

🎯 THE BREAKTHROUGH

Ms. Tamara taught me to organize my thoughts - not write for me.  She helped me turn my scattered ideas into compelling stories.  Being an engineer herself, she also encouraged me to attend the summer pre-freshman program at VT even though I didn't want to go - she was right! It helped me to adjust to college and engineering so much.

🚀 THE RESULTS

✅ Admitted to Virginia Tech (Out of State) 

✅ Accepted at 4 other top engineering programs

✅ Essays that reflected the real me

✅ Communication confidence that helped in college and beyond

📍 Now: Graduated from Virginia Tech.  Confidently negotiated a higher pay package at her current employer (large tech firm)

 

"When Virginia Tech accepted me, I knew they saw who I really was and that I'd be a perfect fit for their program." - Amber A. - VT '21
