Isiah Doumbia recently completed his third year at the IDEAL School of Manhattan, but his journey is anything but ordinary. In a remarkable feat during his earlier high school years, Doumbia clinched victory in an essay competition centered around the legendary Muhammad Ali. His triumph led to an unforgettable experience as he jetted off in a private plane to Louisville, KY, where he immersed himself in the rich legacy of the Muhammad Ali Museum.
This year, Doumbia’s adventures continued as he joined a YMCA teen group from Harlem, NY, on a tour of four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Reflecting on the experience, he shared, “I gained profound insights into Black culture and discovered a renewed sense of pride in my heritage. It reshaped my perspective on education, encouraging me to embrace new horizons.”
