We are Black History. Throughout the month of February, our writers and some members of our team will share more about themselves in the form of “I am from” statements. We believe our experiences, our culture, our identities and truths shape black history, and are part of the broader spectrum of the black experience.

Keley Smith, The Winters Group’s Operations Manager, kicks us off in this week’s edition of Gen Y on D&I.

I am from….
By Keley Smith

I am from the Kingdom, the daughter of the King, forever royalty.

I am from the Mohicans – I am not last, but I am first because I was LAST!

I am from the holder of the future which is destined to shine.

I am from the IMPACT that you won’t see until it has come.

I am from the Chocolate City raised by a Queen- to N.C., to Texas, and the world unseen. [/dropshadowbox]
