“We will press on.”
This week, our founder and Executive director Tino Mkorombindo (@tinomko) shares a powerful message of encouragement from his 2017 Oakwood University (@oakwoodu) graduation. As the president of his graduating HBCU class, Tino addresses many of the worries that minority individuals face, and reminds us that though we encounter adversity, we may get down but we are never out. .
Tino is currently a 4th year MD/MBA dual degree candidate at the University of Louisville School of Medicine and College of Business. He was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and raised in Southern California. Motivated by his desire to make the world a better place, Tino has dedicated his work to supporting and encouraging those who have been overlooked.
