MARLENE RIOS

Thasunda Brown Duckett
INROADS Alumni
President & CEO, TIAA
“INROADS was not just a great catalyst, it was my disrupter. INROADS changed my trajectory. To be surrounded by other interns with the support of INROADS that is pouring into your confidence, showing you what it means to network and engage in an executive forum. Reminding you that your magic is real. That is what INROADS provided me.”
DALYNE BIRCHFIELD
“We cannot thank INROADS enough for what you’re doing and for your alignment in our belief that every student, every child, every adult has the right to learn and to have every opportunity afforded to them.”
Felicia Abram
“We want the world for our children, and INROADS has opened a world of opportunities for my two sons, Nicholas and Sage. Because of INROADS, my children have confidence in public speaking, strong interview skills, and are prepared for corporate and community leadership.”
AIDYA SHORTS
Georgia State University
“My experience at FSI has expanded my knowledge in my professional career and personal growth. FSI works with students to become the best versions of themselves and has prepared me for the future. I would recommend this program to all students.”
Sekou Kaalund
Vice-Chair, INROADS Board of Directors
Head of Consumer Banking, NE Div at J.P. Morgan
“My vision for INROADS is to both serve the needs of students and corporations in their evolution to hiring more diverse talent. Post George Floyd there's obviously still an important need for greater diversity. My vision is that INROADS continues to be one of the key organizations that enable corporations to tap into diverse talent, but also continues to prepare that diverse talent to capitalize on opportunities.”
