What past fellows say
“The project management skills that I got out of the Affirmative Leaders Fellowship — such as learning to break initiatives into workstreams and better manage my time — were truly invaluable. It has not only transformed my work as an attorney, but also gave me tools to accomplish passion projects like launching a new Caribbean bar association in DC.
Really, it should be called the ‘Affirming Leaders Fellowship’ because it provided such a supportive, validating environment.”
Zenia Wilson Laws, 2025 Affirmative Leaders Fellow
