Tuskegee Grad: Phoebe Ash, from South Central to Seattle

When Phoebe Ash accepted a work-study position one summer at a Tuskegee University computer science lab, she had no idea it would change her life in the way that it did.

A political science major intent on becoming a lawyer, Phoebe, originally from South Central Los Angeles, was attending Tuskegee on “lots of loans and a wing and a prayer” as she puts it. So, when she accepted the computer science lab position she was simply looking for a summer job to help pay for her tuition. Like many other colleges and universities, Tuskegee becomes a bit of a ghost town during the summer. So, with time on her hands Phoebe began to dabble in programming.  http://politic365.com/2011/10/15/phoebe-ash-from-south-central-to-seattle/
