Udi Gitau
Udi is interested in destigmatizing psychiatric healthcare for young African Americans. Alongside his role as a member of our board, he also currently serves as a State Superintendent Student Advisory Council Representative. Outside of school, Udi thoroughly enjoys partaking in philosophical discussions and immersing himself in the world of a novel. He plans to pursue a degree in the social sciences after high school.
“I have experienced first-hand, and personally, the detrimental impact of internalized racism and the dismissal of mental health concerns within the Black community. Rather than make performative remarks regarding these detriments, I want to take action as ENRICH has been through research. As a representative, I will be a voice for youth in the Black community and first-generation African Americans”
