Alumna Nat’e Guyton uses her innate<br />
leadership skills and strong support system<br />
to leave her humble beginnings behind.<br />
As an 8-year-old girl, Nat’e Guyton went to live with her<br />
grandmother in inner city Philadelphia. “My parents were<br />
teenagers when they had me. They were young and uneducated<br />
and they went off to live their tumultuous lives,” she says.<br />
