Jevon Okundaye

Jevon Okundaye was the 2017-2018 Young Adult Leader Fellow at MAC and returned in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jevon is a Black autistic young man who graduated from Tufts University in 2019. He hopes the Ask a Self-Advocate blog series he wrote during his fellowship can help others self-advocate and succeed in school, college, jobs, and life.

The Young Adult Leaders Fellowship is a yearlong fellowship that provides young adults ages 18-26 with intellectual disabilities and/or autism to learn the professional skills needed to advocate on behalf of other youth with disabilities.
