Hello! My name is Amari Z. Hudson, and I am 19 years old. I like to read, watch movies, and take photos of nature. I also enjoy learning new things, like the language of Swahili. 

I am the Program Director for Yeye’s Academy. It is my job to act as the link between families, educators, and leadership. For example, I will be coordinating emails, announcements, and voice-call communications. I will also keep families informed/updated about important dates through the school’s calendar. 

I hope that this year will be a fulfilling one, and I cannot wait for whatever the future holds. Thank you so much for reading my bio; I hope everyone has an amazing day/night, wherever you are!
