Founders Story
Fidelia Igwe M.A.
Growing up in Northeast Washington, DC, I saw firsthand the gaps in access to quality college advising and how personalized support can transform a student’s academic journey. My own path to college was uncertain, but with guidance, I found success and discovered my passion for helping others do the same. After earning a bachelor’s in African American Studies and Political Science from Virginia Commonwealth University, I completed my master’s at Indiana University—Bloomington on a full scholarship.
With years of experience advising diverse students, I founded Equitable Minds to provide holistic, student-centered college advising. I focus on empowering students to find the right academic, social, and cultural fit, ensuring they thrive in college and beyond. My approach is rooted in empathy, dependability, and a genuine commitment to helping every student reach their full potential.
