One of her teachers is Mark Marquette.
Marquette is the one-time gas station guy turned mechanic turned teacher.
The plan to pass it forward moves into motion because the Urban League of Louisiana is behind the wheel.
Ronnie King, Jr. says, “it gives the opportunity to hire people who work and live in the community they actually serve.”
