The UPTC mission matters to me because I am a part of the crowd that they are targeting. I am an African American woman in the United States and it is a fact that stuff for me is harder to obtain than my white counterparts. This is who I am. This is my identity and I like that this company’s mission acknowledges that there are people there who need more help and need to be heard and feel valued. It is making an effort to bring people up but also teaching that to other people as well.
With our 1:1 meetings and cohort meetings, this company designates time for everyone to speak about what they are proud of and how they want to uplift other people as well. The 1:1 meetings make it personable and this company allows us to make that connection with everyone.
