I couldn't dream of describing it better than she does, so here's the caption to her post.
"Racism extends beyond institutionalized police brutality. Leaders who ignore race in higher education perpetuate racial injustice. I’m launching an annual college scholarship program called Education Equality Scholarship Fund to support our black communities across the US. I’m donating $500 to kick start the scholarship.
Education played a critical role in my immigrant family’s, and my, life. I graduated nearly debt free because of generous scholarships and was lucky enough to have my parent’s support. I’ve reflected upon my life during these trying times, especially during the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and wanted to directly impact our black community.
Let’s help as many students as possible. Based on the statistics in this post, it’s time for white and non-BIPOC people to come together to support our black brothers & sisters. If you would like to join me and donate, venmo me @Kristina-Ayanian (with “scholarship fund” in the caption) or click the Go Fund Me link on the scholarship website link in my bio.
VISIT THE WEBSITE LINK IN MY BIO TO APPLY. This year’s applications will close July 1 and recipients will be announced by July 14th. Scholarships will be sent directly to the college/ university shortly after."
Simply amazing.
I strongly suggest you visit her scholarship website if you'd like to make a donation, or to apply for the scholarship.
And be sure to stay tuned. You never know what Kristina will be up to next!
