Hi, my name is Taay’lor-Imani Laribo, and I am honored to have been accepted into the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) ED.M. program (2025-2026)—a dream that will allow me to maximize my potential and drive meaningful change in education. However, I need your help to make this dream a reality!
Education has always been my passion and purpose. From an early age, I witnessed firsthand the systemic barriers that underserved communities face. This inspired me to dedicate my career to creating equitable learning environments, developing mentorship programs, and advocating for policies that support diverse learners. Through my work at Southeast Children’s Fund, DC LEAD, and the Brookings Institution, I have been committed to bridging gaps in education, communication, and policy.
Now, Harvard represents the next step in my journey—where I will gain the tools, knowledge, and network to continue breaking barriers and transforming education at the most critical time.
The total cost of tuition is $132,190, and by the grace of God, I have raised $64,500 through grants and federal loans. I still need to raise $67,690 to cover the remaining expenses.
Unfortunately, due to the current job market in my field, I was recently laid off. Every dollar counts—even $5 can bring me closer to achieving this goal. Your generosity will not only help me access this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but will also allow me to create lasting impact in education, ensuring future generations of students and educators have the resources they need to succeed.
Join me on this journey—your support means the world!
