She has always wanted to give back to communities subject to health disparities like Baltimore by creating sustainable clinics that provide workshops for all classifications of health and discounted medicine for those who cannot afford it. She says that she chose Howard not only because it is the best HBCU in the country, but also because there are so many successful African American professionals that she has met who are alumni of this prestigious institution.
