NWIAA J.A.D.E. (Junior Agri-Diva Education)

This program was initiated by the daughter of Dr. Tammy Gray-Steele, Jade Steele, who has been involved in agriculture since she was 5 years old. Jade now attends college at Spelman in Atlanta, GA, working toward a pre-med degree to become a Medical Doctor (M.D.). Jade's goal is to use her education to better serve and meet the needs of underprivileged women and children. This program is designed to empower young women, no matter their circumstances. Despite being raised in underprivileged areas of the United States, it is our belief that young women can still achieve success in life as a result of involvement in agriculture and this program.
