Let's Talk About Diversity, Equity, and Belonging
“Ms. Lugo created a space where everyone in our staff felt that they belonged and their contributions were valued. Oftentimes, conversations around topics of diversity, equity, and belonging can be uncomfortable, but Ms. Lugo encouraged us to lean into the discomfort while also providing a safe environment to do so. Her talented approach sparked an ongoing dialogue within our Center.”
