STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“As a former DPS student, I genuinely did not feel at ease with the idea of going to college. I was not offered the same resources and did not receive the same high-level education students from other counties and states received. And I didn’t know how I could afford to go to my dream schools, like the University of Michigan. Fortunately, a light shined through this darkness. What better way is there to prepare for college than to talk and receive advice from someone who has experienced college life and college academics first-hand? Kemi’s non-profit, “Bringing Hope Back Home” performed miracles for me: I became acquainted with numerous scholarship opportunities I didn’t know I was eligible for, I received suggestions for my personal statement, and more importantly, advice on how to handle a life-changing event, like going to college. I can happily say I am a full-ride student at the University of Michigan, and BHBH played a definitive role in helping me achieve this accomplishment!”

“I truly enjoyed being part of BHBH last year. The workshops were amazing and helpful, and I can’t thank Kemi enough for bringing hope back to BCHS. Kemi knew precisely what important topics to cover in the four-day workshops. I found resume building super helpful. In my experiences with other groups, I have seen very few organizers keep in touch with participants like Kemi has. Both Kemi and BHBH are awesome! I would highly recommend this organization to any high school student, whether they are struggling with college apps, wishing they had someone to look over their essays, or just simply learn about college experiences from college students. I loved it and I don’t think anyone wouldn’t
