IndagaHome spent the day volunteering at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women in Philadelphia. We do this every year because it’s a rewarding experience. This year Hillary Clinton was the keynote speaker. She shared the spotlight with former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, Judge Glenda Hatchett, Wall Street business leader Sallie Krawcheck, and other prominent members of the Philadelphia professional women’s community. But it was Linda Cliatt-Wayman, the principal of Strawberry Mansion High School in Philadelphia who stole the show. She brought the crowd of 7,000 women strong to their feet and moved to tears with her heartfelt speech about the importance of and instilling hope in the minds of children from one of the most economically distressed community in Philadelphia. You may recall the 20/20 special with Diane Sawyer who visited the school with TV cameras to show how Ms Cliatt-Wayman turned the school around with her extraordinary gift of teaching, leadership and love to motivate students to become the best they can be despite circumstances that are beyond their control.
