ESTACI’s Empowering Women and Girls program proudly celebrates one of their 2025 Young Leaders scholarship award recipients, I’Ta’Nashia Jackson.
A Class of 2025 graduate of Nandua High School, I’Ta’Nashia exemplifies resilience and determination, pursuing her dream of becoming a pediatric nurse despite facing big hurdles in her young life. Currently entering college and majoring in nursing this fall, she is driven by a powerful commitment to return home and give back to her community, providing compassionate care.
This week, Kelley visited with Polly Boyd, Program Director for ESTACI’s Empowering Women and Girls program, and I’ta’Nashia as she shared part of her journey and encourages other young women and girls to reach for their goals, no matter the obstacles that stand in their way.
