Ameyir Freeman
Minneapolis, 11th grade
2023-2024 Trailblazer Fellow
Ameyir’s bold dream is to attend a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and study journalism. Ameyir will be using the Trailblazer Fellowship to tour HBCU campuses out of state. Ameyir is inspired by her sister, who studied journalism at an HBCU and is now in law school.
“If I were to have dinner with anyone, it would be my great great grandmother. I would have dinner with her for multiple reasons, she started what I've known and call family. Not only did she raise some family members I look up to. They got to experience her presence and maybe that's what gave them the boost to be so successful in life. Most of all I would just want to experience her presence since I never got the chance to.”
