      <image:caption>Harvard School of Business Portrait Project “Tell Me, What is it You Plan to Do with Your One Wild and Precious Life?” I am not graceful or coordinated, but dancing allows my soul to transcend. To dance is to rise above obstacles and stretch beyond my reality. To dream. To take risks. To seek change. I grew up with my mom as a single parent so after school I was usually home alone. A thousand times I danced my way around the house warding off the loneliness and fear to gain a feeling of hope, connectedness, and belonging to something greater than myself. I now realize how much an inner sense of belonging in the world inspires me to achieve great things. Read article &gt;&gt;</image:caption>

The program may be relatively young — the center launched BCBR in February 2021 — but its curriculum and community of leaders and mentors have had an outsized effect on participants and boardrooms across the country. BCBR alumni occupy 158 board seats, both public and private. The program has educated 317 leaders in its short three-and-a-half years of existence. Read article &gt;&gt;</image:caption>

      <image:title>Activities - Where I Started in 2023: Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones after fracturing my foot.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Training for my first half marathon in 2023, I faced a major setback: a fractured bone in my foot that left me temporarily on crutches and then in a boot, limiting my mobility and putting most of my everyday activities on pause. It was an unexpected reminder of how quickly things we take for granted can change. Yet, rather than letting it define a limit, I decided to make it a starting point. First, I had to accept my new situation and adapt. I started doing upper body and core workouts every day to manage stress and maintain body strength. I tried lots of alternatives to crutches to help me stay mobile and as self-sufficient as I could. There were many falls, calluses in new places and days so frustrating that all I could do was cry.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Activities - As I continued to recover, I committed to training for my first half marathon—a goal that I had postponed many times in the past due to work or family obligations. It now felt even more ambitious and daunting given where I was starting from.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Using the Peloton app and countless hours first on the treadmill then running on city streets, I found myself rebuilding strength step by step. Each training session wasn’t just about physical recovery; it was about proving to myself that determination could transform challenges into victories. Crossing that first half-marathon finish line brought an immense sense of pride—not just for the race itself, but for completing a goal I’d set despite the obstacles. It’s a reminder to keep pushing forward, no matter how hard the road may seem.</image:caption>
