Ramos shares her biggest career lessons learned, what advice she would give to those who want to pursue social good as a career, and what’s next for Pencils of Promise.
Tanya Ramos:
I kept true to my north star by being authentic and unapologetic for my life decisions, and personal and professional accomplishments. For some, the direction my life took seemed nearly impossible given my humble beginnings. I wasn’t supposed to be articulate, or accomplished, or graduate from a great university. I wasn’t supposed to build a blossoming career or buy my first home before 30 years old all the while being debt free.
So my hope is that we can provide programming for at least 1,000 schools in the next 10 years and double the amount of students we serve. My immediate goal is to have the most successful and amazing gala ever [this November]. where we will honor Lil Jon, Trevor Noah and Karmagawa and most importantly, our life-changing work around the globe.That no dream is too big and anything is possible.
