It’s bittersweet for us to celebrate this year’s cohort of our 209 API Homies Circle graduation while still grieving the loss of Piterson Oum, one of this year’s graduates who shared his testimony at the graduation, speaking on his transformation and hope for his future.
We celebrate the resilience, drive, and possibilities of this year’s graduates and also honor the positive legacy Piterson leaves behind with our Homies Circle and the larger EMAC community.
May Piterson’s legacy remind us of the urgency of our work and may we continue to serve our system-impacted community to support their positive transformation. 💙🙏🏽🌊
