By: Ezekiel Taylor Scholarship Foundation "This is how we do our part, each of us must commit towards a finding a solution to helping these young people," says Bell, ETSF CEO. "If we can just reach one student at a time, then we are succeeding. We can't keep losing our young men to the streets." The foundation, named after her father who was killed on the Southside of Chicago, identifies young black male students who don't qualify for the "A" or "B" scholarships. "My father was innocently murdered on 79th and Stony Island…by teens who lost their way," says Bell. "We can't keep overlooking the 'middle of the road' students, they have great potential, they just need an extra push," adds Bell. The 39-year-old has written extensively on the impact of Chicago's gun violence.
