“Championing underrepresented voices has been a driving force in my career and collaborating with Shipt on this journey deepens that passion,” Rae said in a statement. “Witnessing the dedication and brilliance of these talented students as they create something truly extraordinary this summer is awe-inspiring. I believe their work will resonate with people from all walks of life, and I’m excited for the world to experience the impact of their remarkable talent.”
The project was also a passion point for Kemet, who is a Howard alum, and Shipt CEO Kamau Witherspoon, who also graduated from an HBCU.
“What I’m really most proud of is not just how they brought their full selves into this project,” Kemet said of the interns. “Some of the ideas that came through were so authentic, so original and so true to who they are and truly the work is theirs.”
