Hi, I'm Rebecca Williams and I am  a freshman at the University of Texas in Austin. The tuiton is very high, but I have a strong passion to study abroad in Accra, Ghana as a Maymester. A Maymester is traveling and studying after the spring semester during the summer. The Maymester is an African and African Diaspora Studies that will be dealing with Community and Social Development.

Even though my major is Radio/Tv/Film, I want to connect with my true culture. I understand negative images of the African Diaspora has been inaccurate. It is my duty to help rebuild communities on a domestic and foreign level. I just want to inspire and challenge other people to use their skills and talents in a positive way.

If you decide to contribute to my education, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity.
