Rising Future Makers Positively Impacting their Community [Video]

GRAMBLING, La. (KNOE) – Two Grambling State University students joined 23 other HBCU students as AT&T’s Rising Future Makers 2024 Class.

The students were awarded $5,000 and an iPad.

Senior Lea Hebert and Sophomore Keith Jackson are working to change their communities through this opportunity.

“Grambling does a very great job of showcasing student leaders on campus and students being involved in various opportunities. The impact that Jordan and Jamie had on this campus, I probably wouldn’t be here today in front of you,” said Jackson.

He is working on his company, P.O.C.C.M., highlighting other HBCU social media influencers.

However, Hebert is doing something a bit different by going into dentistry.

“Not just to become a dentist, and that’s it,“ said Hebert. ”I definitely want to use my income to contribute to the community and also to the education within my communities.”
