Our mission is to empower the next generation by providing the largest community of diverse inspiring professionals ever assembled who we train to share their stories and lessons with youth.
We call these professionals DreAmbassadors®—and they look like the students they reach.
My name is Chika Okafor and I’m the Founder and CEO of Todaydream. Too many students still don’t see enough examples of people who look like them in professions they want to be—with lives they want to have. At Todaydream, our mission is to empower these students by providing schools the largest community of diverse inspiring professionals who we train to share their stories and lessons with youth. My own story shows the importance of our work. I’m a graduate of Stanford for college, Yale for law school, and Harvard for my PhD.
I’m also a proud alum of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) system for elementary, middle, and high school, and after college, I worked twice as an employee of that same school system.
