  • Episode 15: TASD Back to School Keynote Speech

    16/08/2018 Duração: 10min

    Last week, I had the pleasure to return to my hometown of Texarkana, Arkansas to deliver a Back to School keynote speech in front of many of the same educators who transformed my life. I shared two valuable moments from my upbringing to provide some insight into what motivated me to dream big when my family history, society, and statistics told me otherwise. I hope you enjoy.
