Susana Briscoe-Alba,  Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at Mount St. Mary College in New York and founder of the Grit and Purpose Academy shares a story about the journey from a time in her life of being someone not wanting to be heard to someone setting a course for leaders to create environments where everyone can be made to feel seen, valued, and heard.

Special shout out to ALP alumna, Jennielle Strother, whom Susana met through the podcast.
