Meet Spelman Student Nyla Choates - Fearless Youth Leader, Author & Entrepreneur
This episode of Underground Magnolia Podcast features Nyla Choates, youth activist, entrepreneur, and author. The 19-year-old founded the nonprofit My Roots are Rich when she was in high school. The Milpitas, California based organization combats systemic racism by holding a range of self-pride and literacy workshops across the country. In 2021, she organized a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in her hometown. Just a year later, she self-published the children’s book also titled “My Roots Are Rich.” Currently, Nyla is a junior at the historically Black women’s college, Spelman, where she has garnered numerous leadership awards in business and entrepreneurship.
