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 />
