“Mentoring is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life. I have a passion for sharing my knowledge and experiences to provide inspiration, encouragement and guidance for others to realize their own natural talents and abilities. I am so grateful for the connection made by being a part of the FSF Mentoring program.”
—Christine Kennedy, Under Armour

Being a part of the FSF Mentorship Program has been transformative for me. My mentor encouraged me to advocate for myself in the workplace, something I never thought I would do, and through her guidance, I have gained both confidence and clarity in my professional journey.”
—Tracy Ewli-Kwakutse, 2025 Virgil Abloh™ “Post-Modern” Scholar
