Testimonials

The experience was very engaging and eventful.

Very engaging and inspiring

I feel like this gave me motivation to find my purpose in this world and what I'm meant to do. It made me want to work toward all of my goals, not just my biggest one.

I very much enjoyed you speak. It really motivated me and encouraged me to keep going.

This impacted me by showing me that anything is possible.

The session showed me how I should pursue my dreams no matter what anyone thinks.

About

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.

Yet I’m also a proud alum of the Chicago Public Schools for elementary, middle, and high school, and after college I worked there full-time two times.
