FULL BIO
Kalimah Priforce is Co-Founder @ Qykno, a Careerspotting 4 Kids platform that makes career exploration into a game for 13-17 year olds.
He is passionate about innovation that transforms children's lives in and outside the classroom. At 8 years old, he held a successful hunger strike against his Bedford-Stuyvesant group home to add more books to its library. At 14, a chance meeting with Dr. Lorraine Monroe, an education innovator in Harlem NY, sowed the seeds of his dream to be a world-class educator, but it wasn't until October 1st, 2000, when his 18 year old younger brother was shot and killed that he formed a lifelong commitment to innovating education.
