I showed this to my Female Leadership Academy class at the middle school level. This sums up everything I am trying to teach these Young Ladies about empowerment and leadership.

Under her leadership, TFA-STL dramatically evolved, launching a local institute, increasing fundraising and diversity, and investing in culturally responsive pedagogy for the 20,000 students in corps member and alumni classrooms.

@Jim Curram no shes saying how people of color don't get the same treatment or chances to advance in jobs as white people do Jim. She trying to motivate women of color to speak up and understand you deserve as much as a chance as others do.

"Women of color have been helping to hold the fabric of this country together for centuries..." TRUTH.
by far, one of the best speeches on the subject!

I'm obsessed with Brittany Packnett, and honestly, I wish everybody else were too. I really admire her.
Cool, so what's something she's done, aside from being a young WOC, I mean?

Incredibly motivating - another wonderful example of the importance of representation.
Love your cadence! Listening over and over because your tone and words are like music to my ears and soul!
It would be amazing for Brittany to do a follow up talk that includes SCOTUS Ketanji Brown Jackson. This is an amazing talk.
Straight on point!
6 years later…. STILL relevant.
I love this ❤️ bless you sister
Love It 😍😍😍
