Kayla Mills

How long have you worked at LREMC?

1 Month.

What is your title?

Community Relations Specialist.

Describe the work you do. I will plan and organize events to help promote the mission of the Lumbee River EMC.

What community do you live in?

I live in Fayetteville.

Tell us about your family.

I am the only child of two wonderful parents. My mother is a retired school administrator, and my father is currently the Economic Development Director in my hometown of Oxford. I am originally from Houston, Texas, and most of my family still lives there.

Anything else you’d like to share?

I desire to be the best person I can be. I live by the quote, "I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude," by Brené Brown. I am very happy to be here and excited to get to know others in the community to advance community culture further.

Spencer Helps RCC Students Find Success

Richmond Community College is the recipient of an MMSI grant, which aims to increase the progression and degree completion rate for minority males. The grant allows the college to utilize campus resources and services to facilitate deliberate and intentional interactions between minority male students and the community.

EMC Communications Specialist David Spencer presented his challenges in finding his way to success and how he overcame them at Richmond Community College as part of the college's Minority Male Success Initiative (MMSI). Students had the opportunity to speak with Spencer afterward and receive an autographed copy of his book, "Dark Skin American."

The MMSI platform promotes inclusion for minority males by minimizing barriers and issues and providing avenues to leadership development, academic enhancement, and achieving educational outcomes. The central goal is to help students be successful in their collegiate careers and produce graduates with high academic achievement and preparedness for transfer and employment.
