        "Despite taking on major institutions, Robin Proudie works as a grassroots leader without the massive funding or backing that large organizations enjoy. Her efforts are driven by a deep commitment to doing what is right for local families rather than earning public awards or personal praise. Because mainstream history often overlooks the families of enslaved laborers, her brave advocacy brings light to a story that is at high risk of being forgotten."

    "wrstl:relevance": [
        "Robin Proudie’s leadership addresses current issues like racial equity and historical truth-telling, which are still heavily debated in society today. Her work shows young people how historical events directly shape modern problems like economic inequality and community displacement. By organizing around past injustices, she provides a clear roadmap for how today's leaders can tackle present-day social issues."

        "Dr. Jamison is incredibly selfless - she always nominates others for awards but does not seek the limelight for herself. In fact, i was not confident she would even give me permission to submit a nomination on her behalf! When she is recognized, she always references the team that surrounds her. With this nomination, i hope that she herself is held in the light she deserves."

    "wrstl:relevance": [
        "Dr. Jamison's courage and resilience has served as a model for me and countless others who have worked alongside her. She inspires us to be the best version of ourselves - not demanding that we do better, but showing us what it looks like to do better and then letting the rest of us follow her lead. Her messages about inclusion are heartfelt and each one centers and grounds me in my work as a social justice educator."
