In this episode of The BWC Backstory, Jolene Levin sits down with Dr. Monica Kelsey-Brown, Superintendent of Waunakee Community School District, for a real conversation about leadership, confidence, and staying true to what you bring to the table.

Coming from a family of educators, Dr. Kelsey-Brown shares how her roots—and the mentors who guided her—shaped her journey. From early lessons to big leadership moments, she reflects on the power of support, self-awareness, and knowing your worth.

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself or needed a reminder of what you bring to the room, this episode’s for you.
