Toinette Powers

Beyond the Bell Tower

In this podcast, Toinette, who is studying abroad Fall 2019, shares how she leads a life of purpose and serves others authentically, all while navigating the obstacles on the path to greatness. Toinette describes how positive affirmations have shaped her experience as a student leader, friend, and scholar at NC State. Toinette is a sophomore majoring in International Studies with a concentration in Global Relations with a minor in Spanish, and has activated her resources as a student at NC State to take advantage of opportunities, such as traveling the world, that may not have otherwise been available to her. Toinette plans to attend graduate school and obtain a doctorate degree and because Toinette is indeed “destined for success”, in the future she will own her own nonprofit organization, an international business, and assist and support homeless families and high school students. Toinette aspires to continue to meet new people, gain a variety of perspectives, and make a long-lasting difference in the lives of others. This episode was recorded Fall 2019.
