About
The tnAchieves podcast with Executive Director, Krissy DeAlejandro, explores the path from high school through a college credential. tnAchieves, the partnering organization to TN Promise, actively pursues the belief that everyone is college material. Some of us simply need nudging. Others need more. But in the end, we all benefit from support and guidance. This podcast is designed to discuss solutions to barriers often keeping students from going to and ultimately graduating from college. True stories of real journeys meant to inspire and light internal fires.
