Congratulations to @WNBA Champions, the @minnesotalynx! You can always celebrate with DCPS. Our @PayneDCPS students loved their new shoes, and the opportunity to meet “real champions,” members of Congress, and all the community leaders who joined us today! pic.twitter.com/3wFm7KGwVv

My heart was full today celebrating my teammates success! Thanks to everyone who came together and made that possible…. my teammates are empowering women and a lot of the things they do go unnoticed but today it was all about being humble servants!
