Abdullah Pratt uses develops programs that engage the youth in the community, inspire them to pursue medical careers and help them get through traumatic experiences.
Abdullah Pratt was only ever interested in science and in sports because of his older brother Rashad. He saw his brother excel at what he did, but Pratt’s life changed in 2012 when his brother was shot and killed in Chicago’s South Side.
“The most important thing that his life represented for me was that he relieved me of the burden to prove myself,” Pratt said.
