#repost @cyla_107thstreet “Nipsey Hussle is an inspiration to me because he is a constant reminder that hard work, dedication, and patience are key components to achieving your goals. He invested time into and gave back to his community with STEM education for children in inner cities. He was a positive influencer in South Central Los Angeles who never stopped trying to come up with ideas to give back. One day I hope to be able to do as he and give back to my community in some way.” — Ms. Ayana
