"B****es get stuff done"

The founder of the organization, Marleine, is an unwavering advocate for the Haitian community in Miami. During our initial meeting, I was struck by her similarity to Margarita, the leader of UNIDAD, the nonprofit we worked for during the first four weeks of our DukeEngage program. They share many characteristics; both are passionate and self-motivated, dedicated, confident, independent, immigrant females. Most notably, they radiate an infectious charisma. People stop and listen to their accented yet eloquently commanded speech. Basically, they’re total badasses.
