This was the impetus behind my creation of DMF. I plan to use DMF as a platform to effect global and local change at a grassroots level. As a survivor of tragic civil war, and having been blessed with the opportunity to have immigrated to the United States, I have managed to excel as a professional in the city of Newark,” Gray added.
