Send us a comment about the Be a Baller Podcast Episode. Thanks for support.
On Be a Baller Podcast, Baller's Edge Live Event, Ms. Alethea Gaddis and Mr. Corey Smith, share their remarkable journeys and the profound influence education has had on their lives. Ms. Gaddis talks about her parents’ unwavering dedication despite limited opportunities, revealing how their commitment enabled her and her siblings to achieve higher education. Mr. Smith, representing "I Know I Can," discusses the responsibility adults have in preparing the younger generation for success through education and mentorship.
Our episode also shines a spotlight on the Jump Start for Kids summer tour, designed to introduce students to educational opportunities at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). I share my personal journey from high school to college and the vital role the Gattis Foundation has played in guiding students towards academic excellence. With initiatives like essay workshops and test preparation, these programs aim to help students secure scholarships and excel academically. Corey Smith’s dedication to student support through "I Know I Can" further underscores the importance of community involvement in education.
Finally, we explore how aligning education with personal dreams and aspirations can transform lives. Hear inspiring stories from students who found their ideal HBCUs and the lessons they learned along the way, from building confidence to developing discipline and assertiveness. As we wrap up, we express our heartfelt thanks to Ms. Gaddis and Mr. Smith for their invaluable contributions and encourage our listeners to support the Be A Baller podcast. Remember, always strive to be a baller and join us next week for more insights on building a lifelong legacy.
