Congratulations to Councilwoman Lourdes Barroso de Padilla on a powerful and deeply engaging Women’s History Month 2026: A Woman’s Work program.
Each speaker brought unfiltered honesty—stories of growth and transformation layered with grief, loss, failure, recovery, and resilience. This is the side of business that rarely gets the spotlight, yet it’s exactly where the grit is forged, where character is tested, and where that unmistakable “it” factor is born. We celebrate you Ella Williams Aslyne Rodriguez.
Thank you for creating a space where truth takes center stage—and for the community-changing work to elevate awareness and push for real, systemic progress toward pay equity for women.
And thank you to my friend Dr. Joyce Chen for the invitation! It was wonderful to be in a room filled with such dynamic people Emily Quick Schriver Pamela Conn Edwin Quinones.
