Jacqelle is a unicorn. She has all the savvy and strategic thinking necessary to lead a team or organization, and she has all the empathy and genuine desire to help to inspire others to reach their goals and stretch their capabilities. I have had the privilege of working with Jacqelle on the board of Owlish, as well as some additional projects that have come our way. She has a way of reading a room with compassion and putting people at ease. Her leadership abilities and creative intellect, coupled with her belief in inclusion and equity, enable her to create imaginative and empathetic programs, to enable and empower the people around her, and to articulate a vision that is easy to believe in. She is an educator through and through and truly believes in the power of people to create change and improve lives. I cannot recommend Jacqelle highly enough as a speaker, mentor, and leader.
