Last night’s book talk with Xochitl Gonzalez was nothing short of inspiring! Her reflections on her work, including Olga Dies Dreaming and Anita de Monte Laughs Last, challenged us to rethink how we portray our communities: “I’m going to put us out there as we are.” Thank you to Xochitl for this powerful discussion and to our President, Lisette Nieves, for moderating such an insightful event! #OlgaDiesDreaming #XochitlGonzalez #LatinaLeadership #AuthenticVoices

Last week, we were deeply inspired by Keshad Adeniyi's wisdom and artistic brilliance during his moving presentation of "I mean, look what we are up against." His life story and intellect left a lasting impression on all of us. Ife reminded us: "What I see in our young people is that they have a voice that is often muted. exalt is one of the few places where their voices are amplified." We are proud to stand alongside him, working every day to elevate the experiences of our youth and ensure their voices are heard. 🙌 #YouthEmpowerment #AmplifyingVoices #ArtAndChange #NonprofitImpact #ExaltYouth

Last week, our President Lisette Nieves joined a group of visionary leaders at the EdLOC National Convening. In a powerful conversation with New Profit CEO, Tulaine M., Lisette shared the following: "The mythology of 'I' is dangerous. You will not survive thinking you're the only one who can save yourself, your students, and your family. You can't get stuff done with just 'I'." Thank you to all who participated and to Education Leaders of Color for convening such an inspiring community!
