The youth of Urban Leadership 101 had the pleasure of learning from State Legislative Representative Ako-Abdul Samad this week! Mr. Abdul-Samad taught us about the importance of defining ourselves, finding our purpose, and giving back to our community. Thank you for your courage, commitment, and service, Ako. Our community is better because of your advocacy and willingness to practice peace.
