Morgan Turner, a survivor of physical and emotional abuse, homeless and sleeping in cars; to graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dean College (in Franklin, MA) & Associate of Science in Athletic Training, receiving not only an academic scholarship but an athletic scholarship. Morgan is currently finishing pre-requisite classes to apply for her Masters in Occupational Therapy. Growing up as a queer Black girl in Winter Park and Orlando, Florida with no home stability, Morgan was often bullied and teased for being different and not having many material things due to financial hardships. Through these various hardships Morgan prevailed through support of her esteemed mentor and by having faith in the powers above. Morgan has devoted her energy to working to inspire and build trust with youth who have and continue to live through and experience similar trials and tribulations; providing hope and a safe space for these marginalized yet strong and courageous youth. Reflecting back on her own experiences, Morgan wrote a song called, “I Am Somebody” as her values strongly aligned with Desiree Cook’s non-profit organization. This song tells the story of resiliency and hope, reaching for listeners’ ears and souls. Letting them know that they are not alone and that they are so much more than a moment. That they too can and will overcome any challenges in their lives that they have faced or that they may face in the future.

Who We Are…

I AM YOU 360™ is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since 2014, we have served the most vulnerable, including homeless and foster care youth through a holistic, unique and innovative approach to ”remove the band-aid” of this national and local crisis. According to the latest report from the National Center for Homeless Education, “more than 1.5 million public school students nationwide said they were homeless at some point during the 2017-18 school year.” In Pima County, there are 7,000 homeless youth and over 3,000 children and teens in foster care. Many do not have their basic human needs met or are not treated with dignity. Help us reach our goal to provide customized and personalized services and programs for 2,000 of our youngest community members.

What We Do…

I Am You 360 has gone above and beyond to give back to community through a unique blend of philanthropy and community assistance, by creating employment, mentoring, and development opportunities for youth.

Change Lives

I really liked this one because they made me feel more confident about myself and show who I am.

– Destiny C.

Something that I took out of this presentation is how she told us all that we were Queens and Kings, and said we are all special in our own way. She also said don’t change yourself to be like others.

– Ashley N.

They said to act like Queens, we should be nice to people and respect others. And they were saying help others and have confidence.

– B.D.

Spending time with you has encouraged me by boosting myself confidence and being able to have a strong female role model to look up to ans share parts of myself that most people don’t know.

– Alexis C.
