Dear Dr. Payne:
As a graduate of Virginia State University, I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Virginia State University Commencement Ceremony after I shared my inspiring story of accepting a job offer with Walmart eCommerce. I gained this opportunity from the award-winning Thurgood Marshall Leadership Institute, and I officially start my position in less than a week remotely. Your passion and words of wisdom have always inspired me, and I wanted to let you know that no matter what, I plan to support and advocate for organizations like the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. I never imagined the opportunities I would gain from my participation at the Leadership Institute. As I pack my bags and travel across the country to embark on this new journey, I just wanted to take some time to say thank you for your inspiration and leadership. I wish the organization nothing but the best in the future.
