"Leadership doesn’t require perfection—it requires authenticity. Trust your gut, respect yourself, and know that you are enough." ATHENA Award Recipients Margaret Abe-Koga, Maria Marroquin, and Sara Jorgensen share the advice they’d give emerging leaders: Stay rooted in your values, celebrate your unique path, and never shy away from being yourself because true leadership is about being unapologetically YOU. Their stories remind us that leadership begins with knowing and honoring ourselves. Ready to lead from a place of confidence and courage?
