We love our partnership with New Haven Public Schools! We were invited to share our "See It, Be It" program about African American Heroines with 4th graders at Lincoln-Bassett and King-Robinson Schools. The students were engaged and learned a lot about the characteristics of a heroine. Can you name a few?

Through her years of providing excellent care and delivering over 2000 babies, Joyce dedicated a lot of her time to promoting both cultural and educational opportunities for African American youth in her community.

Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame honors the life and legacy of Governor Jodi Rell, Connecticut’s 87th governor and the second woman to hold this esteemed office. A passionate advocate for education, Governor Rell worked to expand access to early childhood programs and strengthen Connecticut’s public schools. Her dedication to the future of our state leaves an enduring impact. Our thoughts are with her family and all who were inspired by her service.

A special shoutout from the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame to Eniola Shokunbi, a visionary middle schooler making waves in the news, STEM, and public service! Eniola’s ingenuity led to the creation of an air filtration system that removes over 99% of viruses, and her leadership helped secure $11.5 million in funding to expand this innovation to schools across Connecticut.

Eniola, along with her classmates at Commodore MacDonough STEM Academy in Middletown, worked closely with scientists and the University of Connecticut to develop this life-changing solution.

With dreams of becoming president, Eniola is already proving that young leaders can drive transformative change. Her passion for science and education embodies the mission of inspiring future generations. Bravo, Eniola—you’re a true role model!
