Season 5 Episode 8
Dynasty Taylor, a social worker and native of South Los Angeles, founded Dynasty's United Youth Association (DUYA) in 2014 at just 23 years old during her first year of graduate school at USC. Driven by a passion for social change, she pursued a Master’s in Social Work, equipping herself with the tools to empower underserved youth to rise from poverty to prosperity. In addition to leading DUYA, she writes grants, develops curriculum, and designs program models to support youth development and educational equity. She also serves as a Public Social Services Commissioner for Supervisor Holly Mitchell’s office in District II, advocating for policies that uplift marginalized communities. As a City Scholars Foundation Fellow and proud LAAWPPI alumna, Dynasty’s dedication to social impact has earned recognition from the LA Times, New York Times, and Points of Light.
