I plan to change the world by becoming and being a positive role model and leader in my community. By increasing and enhancing my knowledge and perceptions, I can take what I have gained and accomplished into bigger arenas and be a voice and guide for those still finding theirs.

My plan is to diversify mainstream media, so that people of color, primarily children of color, see themselves more frequently and positively represented in the media.

I want to work with disadvantaged, low-income communities, specifically youth, to give them the tools and resources that I was blessed with to excel academically and socially. I also want to help them dig deep to discover their own abilities to give them the support and confidence they need to move towards their goals.
Tylar Hodoh
The change I want to bring to the world is more equity and equality, as well as inclusion for all people. As times go on the world and become more progressive, we may not always hold the same beliefs, but I encourage accepting all as long, as it doesn’t harm yourself or others.

With this program I will shape young African American children to be the leaders and political members in our country.
