Is it 95 degrees everywhere? I just want to step outside without melting.
Company Updates
This month marked the end of the Fast Forward accelerator. It has been a blessing to participate and meet my fantastic cohort members.
Empowr has been working with Momocentral (Hi Su 👋🏽) as they revamped the UX of our learning platform. The work is complete, which makes things bittersweet as it's been enjoyable to talk to Su every Friday. A huge thank you goes out to Su and Momocentral for all the hard work for Empowr.
Student Updates
We had a graduation dinner at Morton's for our first cohort. Funny enough, this is the first time we were all together. You can see the picture in the featured image.
How are they so tall? Somethin’ in this Atlanta water.
Thank Yous
Honestly, thank you to everyone. To Fast Forward, Momocentral, our volunteers, our students, and everyone reading this.
We got a social media manager! Reagan is excellent and has taken our social media to the next level.
Asks
Empowr is recruiting high school students for our upcoming cohort. If you know of any incoming 9th or 10th graders who would be interested, we invite them to join.
