Together, we can continue changing the world by fueling young change agents and armoring them with the tools they need to succeed within the communities.
OUR HISTORYAs a college senior who was both qualified and enthusiastic about a career in Journalism, Gloria was deeply saddened when she was turned down for an internship opportunity on the discriminatory basis of her non-American accent.
She realized that the road to assimilating into the American westernized community and its culture would be a challenge for herself, a proud African woman, easily distinguished by her skin tone, and rich Nigerian accent.

As she reflected on how to respond to this cultural barrier, Gloria considered the impact it could have on youth in the community—those whose identities, languages, and learning journeys are deeply influenced by their upbringing and unique backgrounds.
It was for this reason that Gloria founded the nonprofit organization, GK Folks Foundation.
The primary objective of this 501(c)(3) organization is to empower those who need support by providing them with the tools and opportunities to overcome cultural barriers, thrive in their environment, and ultimately give back to their community.
