Hi, thank you for having me, Sanjay.

Absolutely. So again, thank you for having me on. I'm so happy to talk about math today in a very positive, affirming light, because that's extremely important if we are going to educate the next generation of leaders. We need them to have mathematical mindsets and be very powerful with it. So we have to start very, very and be intentional about how we talk about mathematics.

So what got me started is I was born in Trinidad and I came up here when I was a baby. I came to New Jersey when I was a baby and I was very like always ensuring that I was at the front and center that I was always learning something that I needed to learn. I was very pushy, according to my mom. And it would be times that she would give me help with something like walking up and down the stairs.

And I would be so upset because she's holding my hand and I would let her hand go walk all the way down the stairs and walk back up by myself. And to this day, this is the things that I know that I do in this space of math education. I'm very pushy and I don't take no for an answer. So when a student can't get access to information, I'm that person. I am that this company is made for that.

So sorry, I kind of went back, but I came here when I was a baby. I was very smart in school. I graduated valedictorian sixth grade, my middle school year, as well as my high school year. But when I got into college, Seton Hall Prep, I experienced my first failures. And those failures were in math classes. I got C's and then even I got F's. And I felt very small.

One, because I was the only Black student in my math classes. I went to school for applied mathematics. So I was the only Black girl. And with that being said, I wasn't able to create some type of community and be able to create study partners and so forth. And so I also felt small because the professor made me feel like I wasn't smart because I wasn't getting good grades.

I lost a lot of my academic scholarships because I failed classes and I had to start over. But yeah, I lost those scholarships. I couldn't afford the school. And so I had to transfer to Temple University. And it was there that I began to flourish and began to kind of declare, no, I am smart. I knew I'm smart. I know I have the aptitude.
