Abstract

Gwen Rodgers talks about her family and educational background growing up in San Bernardino, and how her background in finance, youth ministry, and advocating for foster youth gave her the connections and realization she was meant to work for the public. She also discusses how she came to the decision to run for the San Bernardino City Unified School District Board, what she hopes to accomplish, and how her values always lie in the success of the young people she hopes to influence. She cites Ratibu Jacocks as a guiding role model in her election and life.
