I am starting this fund because in 2016, I was awarded the Gates Millennium Scholars award which covered both my undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. In addition, the lessons and experiences I have learned within my Spelman experience such as leadership classes and community service events encouraged me to continue being the servant leader that the Bill and Melinda Gates Organization saw in me and pay it forward to the future leaders of tomorrow.

On Sept. 14, 2022 Melanie France passed away. She was an amazing tarot reader and teacher. Through her presence on social media, she gained a loyal following of people who wanted to learn to read the tarot and in the process created a community of kind, caring souls. Melanie was a true teacher and was accepting of all people. She brought a sense of humor and compassion to all who had the privilege to collaborate with her. This scholarship will honor her memory. I would like the funds to go to a student who has a passion for reading tarot cards. This is an unusual hobby that probably never gets recognized as a skill worthy of a scholarship. The cards are hundreds of years old and have a rich history first as a game and then as a form of divination. Today the cards are used for enlightenment, engagement and therapeutic purposes. This scholarship will be for the student who might not have an athletic background or a high grade point average, but has an interest in the metaphysical arts.
