Join me for a conversation + Q&A with Angela Fernandez, former big law attorney, now Commissioner of Human Rights for NYS. Angela is a powerful speaker who left big law to teach ESL (English as a Second Language), before winding her way to lead the Northern Manhattan Immigrants Rights Coalition and now, her current role.

Her journey has been powerful, amazing and had its share of pain and disappointments. She is a compelling speaker and public servant for GOOD!
