Tell us a little about yourself?

From Montgomery, Alabama, I’m Tamiyah Dubose, a junior majoring in criminal justice who has a love for purpose and a compassion for people. Because I think that advocacy, empathy, and being there for those who need help the most are powerful, I’m pursuing a career as a social worker. I’ve always felt that words have the ability to inspire, heal, and unite people, so when I’m not concentrating on my education or volunteer work, you can find me engaged in reading or creating poetry.

What is your dream job? What kind of impact do you hope to make?

My dream job is to be a school social worker with the goal of helping students learn more about who they are and to provide them with opportunities that they may not be able to achieve on their own.

If you could have dinner with anyone in the world (deceased or alive), who would it be and why?

Maya Angelou because of her powerful stories told through her poetry.

Who is your favorite public servant and why?

My favorite public servant is Jasmine Crockett because she continues to advocate for what she believes is right even in the midst of adversity.
