"Meeka and Yvette": Beyond Talent mentors, Tamikquela Cherry (Meeka) and Yvette Gardner, work at the Living Wages' Anacostia site. Ms. Gardner worked for Living Wages through Beyond Talent last year. She was such a good employee and effective teacher that Living Wages recruited her to work for them. She now works full-time for Living Wages as an AmeriCorps volunteer.
