Few people know that this FirstGen became the CEO of Goldman Sachs.
His great grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from what is Poland today.

That feeling of navigating college without a roadmap.
Great episode, of the podcast I mean 😉

Being FirstGen isn’t about fitting into a category. It’s about owning a story that rewrites what’s possible.

Anything can help me make my dream come true!
Being a first gen student from a low-income family makes things like these feel so out of reach, but I am determined to prove that wrong!

Ein Prof aus einer Akademikerfamilie zu mir als Diplomandin, #Arbeiterkind, #firstgen Jahre zuvor: Arbeitslose sind nur faul, selbst schuld. Ok, was mit ihnen unter H4 passiert.
Das eigene Kind nahm mit dem Prof aber schon früh an Konferenzen teil, wurde gut „geparkt“ bei Bekannten Kollegen.
I’m deeply honored to share that Smart Girl: A First-Gen Origin Story received this year’s Catalyst Award for Best Memoir from My Tribe Media. #firstgen #blackfirstgen

This is truly an incredible story of being one day away from shutting down a startup, to a thriving business today. And then using part of the funds to give talented girls a better path in life.
One of those inspiring FirstGen stories to remember.
