Reflecting on her own life challenges and struggles as a youth growing up. Covington has always had a desire to impact and change the lives of all underserved, socio-economic, disadvantaged (at-risk) youth in her community that lack meaningful academic, emotional & spiritual growth, economic literacy, career guidance, and social skills needed to become productive, worthwhile members of society.
