Jahi is the Director of Ile Omode, an independent, African-centered educational institution in Oakland, California. Encore Fellow Fancy Bryant III served as IT specialist, to develop short and long-term technical road maps for the school to provide an actionable plan for sustaining, deploying, and engaging current and future technical resources. He also identified and secured corporate funding for student PCs, and trained students and teachers on technology.

“The absence of experienced technical support has limited our STEM program’s growth. It wasn’t until Fancy Bryant’s Encore Fellowship that the program began to see significant growth….his work had an immediate impact on over 200 students, resulted in technical training for a dozen staff members, and provided support for over 100 families.”  — Jahi Awakoaiye, Director of School, Ile Omode
