Do you want to know the secret to success in anything? Just start. Take one step.
Big goals can feel overwhelming, but progress doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens one step after another. One step today, and another step forward.
Trust yourself. Trust that you have the ability to make positive decisions. Believe in those instincts.
Too often we second-guess our own power, waiting for validation from others before we move. But deep down, you already know what is right for you. Your instincts are there for a reason, they are your inner compass.
When you choose to trust yourself, you build confidence. With confidence comes clarity. And with clarity comes action. The more you lean into that trust, the more you’ll see just how capable you really are. ⚡️
Today, José and I are excited to share that we’re advancing an impact investment to The Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (@cardozo_law) dedicated to advancing opportunity, equity, and service.
When I was a student in Cardozo’s Mediation Clinic, I learned what it truly means to turn theory into action. Clinics are collaborative spaces where students listen, problem-solve, and create real impact for real people. That’s why this investment matters.
Through the Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano Program for Clinical Education, we’re helping expand Cardozo’s clinical programs—a place that sparks commitment to creating opportunity, advancing equity, and serving others. This program will equip more students to serve their communities, fight for justice, and carry forward Cardozo’s legacy of service and innovation.
Education has the power to transform lives. With this investment, we’re helping prepare the next generation of advocates, changemakers, and problem-solvers who will do just that.
Our mission is simple: boost humans, elevate humanity. This is one more way we’re building bridges, breaking barriers, and investing in futures.
A comfort zone feels safe. It feels familiar. That is why it is called comfort. But comfort is not where growth happens.
Growth requires challenge. It requires you to step into the unknown and stretch beyond what feels easy. If you stay where you are, you stay the same. If you want more, you have to move past the walls of comfort and step into the space where growth lives.
Here’s a reminder as we get closer to end of year goals 👇
Opportunities may come your way, but if you do nothing, nothing happens.
This season is about owning your story and speaking your truth. How? Use the tools you’ve gathered all summer to take those small steps, keep moving forward, and create real progress.
Your voice is your power and your action is your momentum. ⚡️
