Embracing Courage

I have learned that I still have a lot to learn. But I am enough, and we are enough. Together, we are stronger.

This courageous approach, deeply rooted in her cultural heritage and a commitment to inclusion, showcases the perseverance and hope required to create an environment where everyone—children and educators alike—is seen and valued.
