Dear John,

When someone has the courage to take the first step and boldly lead, it paves the way for the rest of us to make history every day. ([link removed])

Anne Keke, our 2021 Ready to Lead® alumna and the recently re-elected Board of Education President for the Aurora, Colorado Public Schools, embodies this pioneering spirit fully.

Anne recalled the pandemic and the harmful anti-immigrant rhetoric that ensued as catalysts that galvanized her to take action. She shared, “As an immigrant, I felt the weight of those narratives deeply. I wanted to elevate the voices of immigrants, push back against the negativity, and to show that immigrants in Colorado and in Aurora are incredible contributors who care deeply about their communities.”

“New American Leaders affirmed my desire to serve and stay engaged in my community,” Anne continued. “They gave me the tools, language and confidence to embrace my leadership fully. It helped me strengthen my voice, own and love my accent, to trust my lived experience, and to believe that I deserve to be at the table and part of the solution.”

When you invest in us, you don’t just power one person—you power a movement. ([link removed]) Anne’s story is just one of many shining examples that make up the constellation of our continued impact.
