LATORYA WALKER
FOUNDER

I'm a globetrotter, community advocate, & a Clark Atlanta University alumna (where I took my first flight). I have nine years of experience working with middle and high school kids. My present job is in the technology sector, where I seek to diversify the workforce. InterCulturalYouth, also known as ICY or ICY Abroad, was founded to give underserved youth access to foreign travel. My long-term goal is to incorporate travel into the K–12 core curriculum to expose students to diverse cultures, careers, & perspectives.
