Wendy Hilliard

The Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation has been able to provide free and low-cost gymnastics classes to more than 17,000 Harlem students. 

Early in her career, Wendy had to fight for her spot on the team.  In 1983 she was denied a spot on the World Championship Group Routine. The coach said that she stood out too much for the synchronized routine. 

Wendy challenged the decision and USA Gymnastics then selected the team based on the ranking from the National Championships, which allowed Wendy to participate in her third World Championship.  It was the pivotal incident that set the stage for her long career as an advocate for an athlete’s right to compete

After two decades of providing successful low-cost gymnastics programming in Harlem, developing elite athletes and international gymnastic performers in the process, Wendy expanded her foundation to offer gymnastics programs in her hometown of Detroit. 

Since its launch in 2016, WHGF Detroit has tripled in size and now serves 200+ students per week.

Tami Garcia

Mully Lingua is the first platform that helps parents find and connect to language and cultural activities and resources for their kids’ ages 1-17.

Kids participate in activities such as art, music, and sports while practicing a language and learning about a culture. Activities are provided by vendors such as Rosetta Stone, Gala Hispanic Theater and local businesses.

We are socially conscious and believe everyone has something to share. We work with community organizations to recruit an untapped population of native language speakers as Cultural Ambassadors providing them a living wage, unique and authentic experiences for kids, and increased cultural understanding within local communities.

Our beta platform launches this summer and we are very excited to provide access to the tools and resources that help all young people learn about and appreciate their own and the world’s unique diversity.
