Transcendients: 100 Days of COVID-19

Day 05: Romi Lassally

Co-Founder, Ready to Succeed LA

Lassally is the cofounder of a nonprofit that supports college students who have been in foster care. In just a few weeks, Romi raised emergency funds for food, rent, and supplies to keep them safe and healthy. She secured paid remote jobs and projects

to replace students’ lost wages; set up webinars and virtual meetings so they could continue networking; and delivered care packages of essentials.
