Legends

Hi all, I'm Zalika May, DREAM's new Alumni Engagement Manager. I'll be supporting our middle school and Legends alumni with programming, events, resources, and more! I'm originally from Brooklyn, NY. For undergrad, I attended Bowdoin College and received a BA in Africana Studies, with a minor in Sociology. I also received my master's in School Counseling from Brooklyn College. I've worked at DREAM since 2017 and previously supported middle school students with high school exploration and career readiness. In this work, I have enjoyed helping our youth access academic and career-based resources, as well as organize events to keep them connected to DREAM and one another. I'm looking forward to getting to know more Legends and Legends alumni and continuing this work with the Legends community!

Mikasa joined the Legends team as the Career Development Manager in July. She’s a Bronx native and has resided in Boston, Washington, D.C. and New Orleans in the past 9 years. She is most proud when she sees the young people she’s supported thrive in their early adulthood and in their respective fields. She will be supporting Legends by connecting them to professional development opportunities, internships and full-time positions with new and current career partnerships.
