This is a human competitive accelerator program that accepts the brightest teens in tech to work on solving some big problems. From this experience, I also had the opportunity to work alongside Walmart and Amazon to pitch AI solutions for integrating technology into their businesses. I have also been able to research at TensoAI and have had my work published on BetterProgrammer's page.

Zuriel Gibson

Zuriel Gibson

Lupus Survivor, Advocate, Actress, Coach & Non-profit Thriver Zuriel Gibson is the eldest of five children who was born New Orleans, Louisiana. She was often declared as the “different” one and shunned due to the vastness of her dreams. Her passion has contributed to her success as the CEO of Blue Wings Home Health Services and more than fifteen years as an industry fashion and print model. The doctors diagnosed Zuriel with lupus and said that she wouldn’t live past the age of twenty-four. Due to lack of knowledge and resources at the time, she immediately thought that her dreams were no longer attainable; life was over. After many bouts with depression, pain, addictions and hospital stays, Zuriel became discontent and decided to use her pain to propel her into purpose. As a lupus survivor and advocate, she has become a much sought after speaker. Her message, “There is purpose in your pain,” has been shared on numerous media outlets such as The Kingdom Broadcast Network, Destiny Channel TV, Something Good is About to Happen, The Ladies Room Radio Broadcast and more.
