“We aim to create an event for Detroit youth that inspires, informs, and energizes students with a commitment to excellence, service, and legacy as they transition to college,” said Shahida Mausi, President of The Right Productions, Inc.
“Our goal is to establish a Detroit tradition of support as we help launch our young people into the next phase of their lives. We firmly believe that together we can make a significant difference in the lives of our future leaders.
