The Power Within didn’t begin with a workshop or a whiteboard. I had been working on an initiative for some time, but I hadn’t quite landed on the right approach. After meeting Rosalin and hearing the real-life needs of the teachers in her caseload, everything became clear. This initiative would begin with them, their challenges, their strength, and their hope. It all started with one conversation, one shared meal, and the belief that teachers, especially the overlooked, deserve to be seen and supported.
