GAASA Testimonials
“GAASA is more than a student organization, it is a family, made of an array of people from diverse backgrounds with incredible talents, cemented by our common commitment to the well-being of Generational African Americans at Harvard and beyond. There are not many places where folks can find genuine community in this present day; I am blessed to say that GAASA is one of the purest forms of community I have ever found. I am forever grateful for all of the beautiful memories and relationships that my GAASA family has given me, and I cannot wait to make more”.
— Kylan Benson | 2024-2025 President
“I knew that as soon as I found the community, it was imperative for me to serve and interact with it as well”
— Ashari Palmer | 2022-2023 Secretary
“That is the power of GAASA.
That is the power of our ancestors, who were enslaved.
That is the power of the generations.”
— Jai Gillard | 2022-2023 Social Chair
