Accelerate Access Episode 008 - Introspection & Retrospection with Kenya Handfield, 2020 Nyah Project Fellow
Welcome to a new episode of Accelerate Access: The Podcast! We share stories of how access to opportunity changes lives. Hosted by Nyah Project founder, Leigh-Ann Buchanan, the podcast provides an inside look into the transformational journeys of our Nyah Fellows as they navigate college, careers, and personal growth as young leaders in the community.
Kenya Handfield, 2020 Nyah Fellow and student at Spelman College in Atlanta, sits down with Leigh-Ann to discuss redefining success, friendship breakups and human connectivity, and owning your own narrative. Also find out how the death of a friend inspired her to give back and start Project FRESH, how she used Access Online to help her win over $1.5 million in scholarships, and more!
“I definitely think that's how I define success: by continuously growing.” - Kenya Handfield

Dancing as a random act of kindness
The importance of journaling
What Kenya learned about vulnerability, privilege and resources from her Nyah Project experience
Passing through the Door of No Return at a slave castle in Ghana
