The promise Pharrell Williams made to a group of more than 100 graduating high school seniors in Harlem has changed Brionna Pope's life as she heads to college.
In a keynote speech last week, the music artist guaranteed"A-list internships" to every 2019 graduate of Promise Academy's two high schools at the end of their freshman year of college, said Harlem Children's Zone, the organization that runs the charter schools."The world is watching Harlem, but this renaissance will be different," Wiliams said in his keynote speech on June 26."Believe it or not ... it's going to actually be better.
"Others, she said, opted to go to community colleges because of the costs associated with four-year universities and with the help of the internship, they won't"have to stress about making those connections because they know Pharrell will take them under his wing," Pope said. Recent Federal Reserve data shows Americans owe $1.
