She had approached her lecturer for a recommendation letter but was told that she can never make it to the university. A few years after the lecturer made the statement, Elizabeth graduated from New York University (NYU) with a Master’s Degree in Public Administration.

Celebrating her feat, Elizabeth took to her social media handle to narrate her story, expressing that she clearly understand that her lecturer was projecting her own insecurities on her and that she didn’t expect a young black girl to have such ambitions.
