“I want to tell you that from my POV, the curriculum these girls have had access to is really impressive. I know the girls were not always super engaged during the sessions and Tatam had the courage to speak up during only one class... but it really made her think about how to drive revenue on a concept (“Dyslexia 101”) that she didn’t realize may need that contemplation. She had to consider her target audience, how to inform people of her idea and what her goals would be, etc. At times she was frustrated but she always channeled the challenge into taking notes and pushing forward. “
— Kristin Bell, Employee at Salesforce
