Here are some famous women who inspire some of our students workers and with that we would like to share a quote from each of them that we love.

Em - Ella Baker is my figure that inspires me and here is a brief quote I love of hers! — “Oppressed people, whatever their level of formal education, have the ability to understand and interpret the world around them, to see the world for what it is, and move to transform it”

Andrew - Sylvia Rivera is who inspires me and here is a brief quote from her “In a world full of people who couldn’t care less, be someone who couldn’t care more.”

Makayla - Brene Brown is someone who inspires me and here a brief quote from her “ let go of who you’re supposed to be embrace who you are”

Tamera - Ruby bridge is someone who inspired me and quote of hers I would like to share is “ you cannot look at a person tell if they’re good or bad”

Lily - someone who inspired me is Kalpana Chawla and her quote is the path from dream to success does not exist May you have the vision to find it and the courage to get to it and the perseverance to follow it.”

Laila- Michelle Obama is who inspired me and a quote of hers i would like to share is “you can’t make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.”
