Kelly was born in the Congo but spent the first years of her life in Gabon.  At the age of 10, she immigrated to the United States with one family member, leaving the others behind.  Kelly grew up fast, learning English quickly so she could translate for her uncle and accepting responsibility for other relatives who followed her to the US in later years.  She defied the expectations of peers and adults and excelled in school, moving from ESOL classes to Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment.  Having personally experienced the ostracizing effects of bullying, she established the Peace Squad at her elementary school.  Ten years later, this group continues to create an atmosphere of support and acceptance for the students at the school.  More recently, Kelly has co-founded Cville 1st Gen, designed to serve first-generation students in their pursuit of higher education to reach their goals and dreams.  Kelly serves as the vice president of the African Student Association and Black Mambas. She is currently a junior criminology major at George Mason University. 📣 Don’t forget to invite your family and friends to IM this Saturday, October 10th from 6-8PM EST! See you there 🤩
