What a wonderful time spent on
WXXI’s Connections Show with Evan Dawson !

Leadership Rochester Executive Director, Camille Simmons(LRClass of 2015),was joined by alumni Wanda Ridgeway (LRClass of 2024) Executive Director of ChiseledMindz, and Sergeant Justin Collins(LRClass of 2025) of the Rochester Police Department, for an important conversation on addressing community violence.

Together they explored the power of spheres of influence and the critical role of partnerships, presence, and relationships in creating safer, stronger communities. A great reminder that everyone has a role to play, from credible messengers to law enforcement, as meaningful change begins when we each use our influence to make a difference.

Grateful for the opportunity to share, listen, and continue building connections that move our community forward.
