Big Dream: Kaire plans to earn a law degree and utilize his skills to advocate and secure educational resources for the previously incarcerated. He is concerned about the lack of rehabilitative services and the marginalization of men of color and would like to strengthen communities by empowering everyone to reach their highest potential. Kaire hopes to give back to his community by establishing a non-profit organization that offers free financial education, legal advice, training and college admissions information in low-income neighborhoods.
