A Blueprint to Soar
Book Donations to the Last Mile Fund
Shelmina donated copies of her bestselling book, Show Your Worth, to the Last Mile Education Fund. Her hope: that it becomes a blueprint for first-generation graduates—especially women in STEM—to soar in their careers, overcome internal and external barriers, and lead with purpose. The ripple effects are already real.
