My name is Gerardo Fontes, and I am a sophomore at Johns Hopkins University, studying international studies and political science. 

As Mirtha Montoya begins her third year of law school, her future career path has come into focus. In part, it’s because of her summer externship with Strong & Starlike, a consulting and educational services firm that works with the government and nonprofits to aid in the creation of programs and policies that benefit minority communities in Minnesota.

Olabisi's internship had a heavy focus on research and policies related to business inclusion. As she concluded her internship, she chose to do a research blog post related to the state of Black women-owned businesses.
