Azadi Charles Sampson, Fenway High, Boston, 2018

Growing up, Azadi’s uncle took him and his cousins to Breakfast IV Brothers: an organization dedicated to fostering connection and mentorship between Black men and boys through monthly breakfasts. In his college essay, Azadi writes how these meetings not only helped him to understand the issues facing his community—they also inspired him to take action toward a solution.

After High School

Azadi went to Bunker Hill Community College to prepare for a career in law enforcement. In 2020, he became a cadet at the Boston Police Department.
