This exclusive book launch event will bring together leaders, educators, students, and community members to redefine what it means to be first-generation. With more than half of today’s college students identifying as first-gen, The Door Builder offers a bold and timely message: first-generation identity is not a limitation, it’s a leadership advantage.
