In memory of Doris Pendleton

I support Walker’s because I am a witness to the transformative nature of an all girls experience like the one that I had as a student there. I am eternally grateful to my mother, Jimmie Pendleton, for allowing me to go to school there and for how the Walker’s experience changed the trajectory of my life. To God be the glory!
