[Glambitious Girl] Lucy Prosper

Lucy Prosper has always had a passion for working with kids. Lucy has a Master's degree in Public Administration from Florida A&M University and is currently serving as Assistant Director, Athletics Human Resources at Florida International University. Ms. Prosper recently fulfilled her lifelong passion as the co-founder of It's My Birthday, a local non-profit organization. Ms. Prosper was compelled to start the non-profit with a co-worker after meeting a young boy fighting through cancer and having to spend his birthday in a hospital bed. She quickly learned that many sick and underprivileged kids miss out on the childhood experience of feeling special on their big day.

To date, the organization has celebrated over 300 birthdays and partners with local organizations including: Big Brothers Big Sisters,  Ronald McDonald House and many others. Ms. Prosper recently was selected as one of South Florida's 40 under 40 Black Leaders of Today and Tomorrow 2015.
