About us
We unite schools, higher ed institutions, policymakers, businesses, and nonprofits to create systemic changes in our educational system so that we can break the cycle of economic inequity in Dallas County and across Texas. Together, we cultivate a collaborative educational ecosystem with school systems, higher education institutions, city, county, and state governments, foundations, non-profits, employers and workforce agencies. Our true north goal is that by 2040 at least half of all 25-34-year-old residents of Dallas County, irrespective of race, will be provided the opportunity to earn a living wage.

I graduated from the first public all-girls school in the state of Texas. It sounds rather simple, but both innovation in public policy and private philanthropy made a high-quality public education possible for me. It was the catalyst for my economic mobility and the transformation of my generational outcomes. I am honored to be an alumna of the Young Women's Preparatory Network and to serve as a board member amplifying its mission to prepare young women for a higher education and life. Recently, Emma P. Chalott Barron and I had the opportunity to share our journey with the Dallas community and provide our life updates to former Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (whom welcomed our 6th grade class nearly two decades ago). Among these updates: we earned our college degrees and are going for more, we earn a living wage, and we're just getting started!). It's true!--> Girls Today. Women Tomorrow. Leaders Forever.
