Favorite Known MPLS Memory:
My favorite Known memory is simply every opportunity I’ve had to come back home since leaving for college. Each visit reminds me of the strong sense of community, love, and support that my Known family provides. It has truly been a blessing to stay connected and always feel welcomed.

Something About Me:
Since joining Known, I have grown tremendously as a leader. Through the confidence and skills I developed, I held leadership positions in my high school choir for all three years. Today, I serve as Vice President of the Fisk University Choir, where I help manage our social media platforms while continuing to share my passion for music and ministry through song.

What Known Means to Me:
Being part of Known means being seen, valued, and celebrated for who I am. It is a community where people can show up authentically, share their stories, and support one another’s growth. To me, Known is about building meaningful connections, creating opportunities, and using our unique talents to make a positive impact. It means belonging to something bigger than myself while continuing to grow and helping others feel seen, supported, and loved.
