She has also obtained an unpaid internship this coming summer working the music industry and a winter internship abroad in Bangkok, Thailand.

FF/EMT Shannon Coleman states, “Imani is always smiling, pleasant, respectful, and energetic. She is an amazing role model for young ladies for overcoming obstacles in life while remaining focused, driven, and happy.” Darnetta Metcalf, Director of Donty Horton Home Care shares, “During the summer of 2022, Imani helped implement a program named the Young Lovely Ladies Program. This program has been very effective for the 10 young women allowing them to show improvement in their independence and self-advocacy, as well as their mental health.”

Imani’s previous scholarships were made possible with support from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, Global Health and Safety, and the Burton A. Zipser and Sandra D. Zipser Foundation.
