Northwestern Settlement reposted this
Yesterday I accepted the Inspire Award from an institution near and dear to my heart. The Northwestern Settlement is one of Chicago's longest-serving nonprofits with a rich history of service, leadership, and community. Folks who know me, know how uncomfortable public acknowledgment makes me -- but it's nice to be recognized among friends and colleagues. I've dedicated my career to trying to improve people's lives. Whether as a teacher, community organizer, or systems leader. This work is never done in silos or by one individual but as a collective. Pa'lante!
