I’ve truly enjoyed the journey that continues to keep me connected to home. My connection to Cleveland, my community, and St. Ignatius High School has never faded. My mother always told me, “You’re never wrong for doing right by people.” I’ve carried those words with me my entire life. The Verneda Bentley Endowment and Bentley Scholars are a reflection of what she taught me, and my belief in the transformational power of education. These kids have way better grades than I did 😁, and will change the world with their minds and commitment to MAGIS… that’s the goal. #AMDG
