Meet the Team
Dr. Lakeyetta Reed
Board Chairperson
Dr. Lakeyetta Reed, is a clinical psychologist, who believes in effectively using one’s gifts and talents to serve others. Following family experiences and interactions with those in her community, she was inspired to pursue a career in psychology, after observing the negative stigma that persists for some despite the growing awareness and acceptance of mental health support. She is committed to providing a safe space for members of her community to process their thoughts and emotions.
Aiyana Belguda
Board Co-chairperson
Through her Special Education Leadership roles, Aiyana fulfills her calling to serve children and families who are often overlooked and sometimes deemed voiceless. She was inspired to pursue a career in education after her father, a school police officer, invited her to spend the summer working with the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools program. Her experiences that summer in 2001, providing literacy and cultural enrichment programs to youth in communities where academic enrichment was limited, sparked a lifelong journey of serving students in underserved communities.
Darrel Frater
Treasurer
Darrel is a business consultant and startup investor, who gained a passion for entrepreneurship from watching his father run his business. Darrel has always had a love for math. One of his favorite memories from school is receiving a perfect score on the math section of statewide standardized test in 5th grade! That moment gave him confidence in his problem-solving abilities, which remains with him to this day. Darrel’s favorite saying is “Relationships are the single most important thing in the world.” He also believes that by serving others, one can truly live a fulfilled life.
