The Rise Advocates® Academy gave me the confidence to speak up in meetings about what I believe in, to share my ideas, and to ask for the salary that l know I’m worth. I am also considering running for political office, mostly due to the tools, skills and habits that I learned, and applied, from the Academy.

The Rise Advocates® Academy increased my confidence to be more fearless, take risks, be more open to change, and to walk through whatever door God puts in front of me, as it relates to my work as a realtor… in just 8 short weeks.
Kelly Latz
As a dedicated educational leader, for over three decades, I have experienced discrimination, hostility, and isolation for speaking up and advocating for what I believe is right – especially as a Black Woman. The Rise Advocates® Academy helped me regain my voice, and gave me the courage to continue my educational leadership role and visualize what was next for me. despite the personal challenges that I was facing.
