Jumoke Opeyemi

A girl coated in melanin. A spoken word poet. A future neurologist. A daughter. An older sister. A Nigerian American. A success story — Jumi’s immigrant parents didn’t speak the language of education, but she found Let’s Get Ready, who helped her get into and succeed in college, and ultimately changed her life.
