Kennedy-King College Business and Economics student Nubia Shambee is a published author, a writer, and a business owner.
While she has already published more than 40 books, she’s not done. She plans to transfer to a four-year university after graduating from Kennedy-King to pursue some of her other interests like film.
“I love Kennedy-King,” Nubia said. “If I didn’t come here, I wouldn’t be as far as I am now. This has helped me so much on my journey.”
