On this week’s episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™, I had the honor of sitting down with Marisa C. Williams, the new Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts River Valleys — and let me tell you, this woman is a leader with purpose.
Marisa brings a wealth of nonprofit experience from her work with HEARTH in Pittsburgh and the YMCA, but what struck me most in our conversation wasn’t just her résumé — it was her heart for community, equity, and connection.
During our chat, we explored her vision for ensuring that every girl — especially those from historically excluded communities — feels seen, supported, and empowered. She spoke passionately about expanding outreach, strengthening partnerships, and nurturing spaces where girls can grow into leaders with courage, confidence, and character.
If you’re passionate about youth empowerment, mentorship, and culturally responsive leadership, this episode will fill your cup.
Tune in, be inspired, and join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter for Girl Scouts River Valleys.
