16 Tech helped me merge technology with community work in a real way. It’s where my ideas turned into systems —from content production to youth programming, to designing events that push culture forward. Being in that environment exposed me to tools, thinkers, and opportunities that directly elevated my businesses and the impact we’re creating on the Westside. 16 Tech didn’t just support my work it helped me refine it, scale it, and build it with intention.
