Washington DC

This past week, I traveled to Washington DC. On Saturday, I had the opportunity to visit the Central Intelligence Agency for its ‘Family Day’. I was able to explore the campus, and walk through Michael Hayden’s (Director of the CIA) office and at the end of the day, I got to hear him speak. What a rare opportunity!

The following Monday, I visited the office of America’s Promise. Mike McGill, Senior Director for Media Relations, has been kind enough to help educate and prepare me toward my venture as a spokesperson for the alliance. I was fortunate to meet with other employees and learn much more. I have many plans this fall in continuing my involvement with youth empowerment and of course, tying that into the America’s Promise Alliance for Youth.
