Educate to Empower would like to thank Ramiro Davaro-Comas, the artist who created the “Still I Rise” mural in Troy, NY, that we used with his permission for our photos. Explore Davaro-Comas work at Ramiro Studios! The mural showcases both incredible local art and a quote from the renowned poet and activist Maya Angelou.
