Nzingha R.

2019-20 Northeast Youth of the Year

Nzingha R.

Club/Organization: Boys & Girls Club of Gloucester County
Intended College/University: Harvard University
Career Goal: Defense Attorney

“The Boys & Girls Club taught me to reach for the stars. Don’t stop reaching until you have one.”

 

Help support Nzingha's passion for cooking by telling congress to expand and support meal and snack programs.

Take Action

Nzingha was 7 years old when she joined the Club. At first, she was shy and disliked being the center of attention. That all changed when she became involved with the Club’s multimedia program. Before long, Nzingha began to write scripts and, with encouragement from Club staff, found the courage to go on stage and perform

Nzingha now has multiple shows at the Club. They include “Nzingha’s Cooking Show,” where she teaches Club members how to make healthy recipes. Her vision for America’s youth is to introduce kids to healthier forms of self-expression.

Nzingha is a high school junior with plans to attend Harvard University and become a defense attorney. Her dream is to one day sit on the Supreme Court.
