I don’t think that I’ve ever felt so empowered before by other strong female educators. … So many people have been pulling me aside and being like, you got this. You can do this. It’s really cool to grow that capacity and know, wow — there’s so many strong women behind me.”

Felicia Iglesias, Assistant Principal
