The Unity J. McGill Foundation
Honoring legacy through education. Empowering the next generation of Liberian leaders through access to knowledge, resources, and innovation.
Education Changes Everything
Named in honor of Dr. Glay’s brother Unity, The Unity J. McGill Foundation was established to address the educational disparities that continue to impact Liberia. The foundation works to provide educational resources, support learning infrastructure, and create pathways to opportunity for young Liberians.
Dr. Glay knows firsthand the transformative power of education. After spending seven years as a refugee without formal schooling, education became the vehicle through which he rebuilt his life, earned a doctorate, and achieved professional success. The foundation carries forward this belief that education is the most powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty and conflict.
Every speaking engagement and book purchase helps support this mission — transforming lives through the same force that transformed Dr. Glay’s own.
