Recognition
Galas & recognition.
A few of the rooms I’ve been honored to speak in and be recognized at.
Giving back
Apex for Youth gave me something no scholarship line can capture: the feeling that I belong in any room I walk into, whether it’s a gala full of celebrities and finance executives or a podium in front of 2,300 people. That kind of confidence is a gift someone else paid for, and I intend to return it with interest. When Ignius becomes a centicorn, a real portion of that is going back to Apex, so the next kid from Brooklyn walks into their first gala already knowing they belong there.
