Jacqueline sits down with global leader, author, speaker, coach, podcaster, and educator, Dr. Nadia Lopez. Dr. Lopez talks about her journey to becoming a teacher in New York’s public school system, to serving as an assistant principal, and ultimately becoming founding principal of Mott Hall Bridges Academy in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn in New York City – the school she opened to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline. During her tenure, Dr. Lopez experienced many ups and downs. She was heralded as a hero and drew worldwide attention to her school. She was also invited to the White House to meet then President Obama. Her life seemed to be at its peak. Then health issues and pushback from education administrators took their toll. She decided to take her power back after being banned from entering the building of the school that she founded. Her road was not an easy one, but she appreciates the path that led her to her NOW.
