"Receiving this scholarship is life-changing for me. It affirms that the years I have spent transforming trauma into purpose and resilience into advocacy truly matter. As an autistic Black woman who was undiagnosed until 46 years old, I know what it means to fight for visibility and dignity. This scholarship means more than just financial support; it represents being fully seen, fully valued and fully believed in."
