5 Most Important FACTORS INNER CITY KIDS LACK TO SUCCEED
Quality Education
Schools in inner cities frequently have fewer resources, larger class sizes, outdated materials, and less experienced teachers, which can impact the quality of education students receive.
Safe and Stable Environment
Many inner-city areas face high levels of crime, violence, and instability, making it difficult for children to focus on their education and personal development.
Access to Extracurricular Activities
Opportunities for sports, arts, and other extracurricular activities can be limited due to lack of funding or resources, depriving kids of outlets for talent and development.
Supportive Family and Community Networks
Inner-city kids may lack strong support systems at home and in their community, which are crucial for providing guidance, mentorship, and emotional support.
Economic Resources
Poverty and financial instability can limit access to essential resources such as nutritious food, healthcare, and educational materials, impacting overall well-being.

Diamond has a vision that started from her experiences growing up in Detroit. Like so many youth, Diamond was expected to become a statistic and fail in life. But, Diamond was not defeated! In fact, this inspired her to do more! Diamond was the first person from her family to graduate from college with a full scholarship, created two businesses, and is currently an Adjunct Professor of Accounting at Wayne State University - Mike Ilitch School of Business. Diamond has a passion to provide resources, mentorship, and opportunities to Detroit youth, important factors that she wished she had growing up.
