"The RAMP experience is more than just a mentor sharing career experience with a mentee. It's more of an amazing two-way learning opportunity! I've learned so much from my mentee, Jennifer, about her academic background and how it helped her to pursue a degree in interior architecture. It was a pleasure to get to know her goals better and share some stories on navigating the professional architecture and design industry. I’m excited for the internship she is going to start this summer!"

"Participating in RAMP has been an invaluable experience. My mentor, Michael, managing director of Rockefeller Global Family Office, provided guidance, support, and encouragement every step of the way. Through regular meetings and open communication, I was able to gain valuable insights and navigate my career path. RAMP not only helped me achieve my goals; it also fostered a sense of community and connection. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a rewarding and enriching experience."
“Representation matters. Taking my first Black Studies class with [founder] Professor Bellinger, an educated Black man, a guy who walked and talked similar to me, showed me it was okay to sound educated. It built my confidence. I started connecting with other folks in the African diaspora on a different level. And no matter how far my classmates and I have gone in our profession or in our lives, that bond keeps us together.”
"Chatting with Kia allowed me to learn more about the day-to-day of someone in the field of law. It was great to chat through things with someone with experience while also getting their perspective. Additionally, they were also extremely helpful in providing guidance on steps I can take to learn more and grow. Overall, it was a great experience!"

"I feel like I was paired perfectly with my mentee, who is an amazingly capable, coachable joy to work with. I was able to expand his networking opportunities, and we are in the process of exploring internship possibilities. We met both in person and on Zoom and had great conversations. I learned from his perspectives, studies, activities, and South African background."
