Tafari Alan
Transfer options to U of Michigan, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Barbara
All her life, Tafari Alan worked hard to perform in a world “that wasn’t built with my super-cool and unique brain in mind.” As a neurodivergent student with undiagnosed ADHD, she kept running up against rigid systems.
