Tia Lukeya Woods Book Pages & Boarding Passes Scholarship Fund

This year, instead of throwing a 50th birthday party for Tia, I’m doing something that feels even more like her. I’m launching The Tia Lukeya Woods From Book Pages to Boarding Passes Scholarship… a scholarship for HBCU students who love learning, are curious about the world, and want to explore beyond what’s familiar (whether that means access to books or the chance to study abroad). Tia believed learning didn’t stop with a syllabus or at the border of a single country. She loved books, culture, travel, and yes… having a good time along the way. If you’d like to honor her with me, I’m inviting friends and family to give $50 for her 50th. Give more if you’d like — and if your employer matches donations, even better. Tia loved a good stretch.
