Link's female scholars and their female guardians (moms, grandmas, aunts, etc.) attended a special program on Wednesday, March 29th, entitled “Cultivating HER Space in the Garden State. “ A panel of women shared their life's journey and path to their professional careers, as well as wisdom for cultivating a strong mind, body, and spirit. Panelists included Shanika Audige, Principal, North Star Academy Lincoln Park Elementary School; Angela Garretson, Union County Commissioner and Chief External Affairs Officer, NJITl; Patricia Guerra-Frazier, Educator & Community Relations Organizer; and Damilola Odedele, PharmD Clinical Pharmacist, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. Following the panel discussion, scholars and their female guardians enjoyed a fun pottery painting activity. We look forward to holding this event next year and making it a Link tradition. Special thanks to Ms. Cooley, Ms. Windapo, Ms. Seegers, and Ms. Schuster for creating this wonderful program.
