Nakisha Cadore with Isabel Faustino.
Ninth-grader Isabel Faustino was tired of thinking she had to change for somebody else, she said. So she etched out some words on a “vision board” as a reminder: “I am: Strong. Proud. Tough. Powerful. Enough. ME.”
“That’s exactly it!” said Nakisha Cadore. “We’ve got to get you running some circles.”

A local redevelopment team heard those hopes, dreams, and visions during a community meeting focused on the cultural potential of a transformed Dixwell Plaza.
