BLACK GIRLS ROCK

It’s official! My mom Principal Nadia Lopez of Mott Hall Bridges Academy, in Brownsville Brooklyn, is the 2015 BLACK GIRL ROCKS Change Agent Recipient.  On Saturday, March 28, at the NJ PAC in Newark, New Jersey, great women like Erykah Badu, Jada Pinkett Smith, Dr. Helen Gayle, Ava DuVernay, and Cicely Tyson were honored for excellence.    I am so proud to know that all the hard work that goes into running a school and sleepless nights was recognized by Miss Beverly Bond.
