??Alaunn Wells, LA4 Hidden Genius Alum, is the first to admit he knew nothing about The Hidden Genius Project even after submitting his application. He was encouraged to apply by his mom, who herself wished there were similar programs available when she was growing up. At first he didn’t fully buy into the mission, but over time he recognized how much it had shifted his trajectory. ?The program not only helped him build technical skills, but also transformed his mindset, fostering confidence, leadership, and intentionality. Having now completed the program, as well as training to become a Youth Educator this coming summer, Alaunn is dedicated to helping other young Black men discover the same life-changing opportunity he experienced. ????To reveal the rest of Alaunn’s story, click the link or visit the link in our bio: https://lnkd.in/grSAu6SX #GeniusRevealed #RevealingGenius #TheHiddenGeniusProject #Blackentrepreneurs #Blacknonprofit

??“I used to avoid asking questions when I didn’t understand something out of fear of looking “dumb.” However, The Hidden Genius Project created an environment where asking questions was encouraged and normalized, and the more I did it, the more comfortable I felt.” ?Meet Jude Salley, Hidden Genius Alum from our inaugural Atlanta cohort (ATL1), and current high school senior. Throughout his journey in our Intensive Immersion Program, Jude not only built a strong foundation in coding, but also developed a supportive network that continues to fuel his growth.?? ????To reveal the rest of Jude’s journey in our Intensive Immersion Program, click the link or check out the link in our bio: https://lnkd.in/gueUxX7W #ATLYouth #BlackLeaders #GeniusRevealed #RevealingGenius #TheHiddenGeniusProject #Blackentrepreneurs #Blacknonprofit
