I’m deeply grateful to New American Leaders for the opportunity to be part of such an incredible cohort of women who are stepping into leadership across this country. It is truly an honor to now be an alumna of this powerful program. As an immigrant, a justice-impacted woman, and someone who has lived many of the challenges our communities face, I understand how systems can impact women, families, and young people in profound ways. That lived experience is not a weakness it is my compass. I am committed to using this training as a foundation to continue building power in our communities and to serve Washington Heights with integrity, compassion, and accountability. My focus will always be on supporting women, families, and youth impacted by the system, and making sure that the voices of our community are present in the rooms where decisions are made. Thank you to everyone for your contued support. This moment belongs to all of us. This is only the beginning.
