How To Shape Legacy Through Education & Empathy

with Principal Toria Avila

A principal’s biggest lesson: kids need more than schooling—they need safety, truth, and to be seen.

This week on the Shaping Freedom podcast, I’m joined by Toria Avila, principal of Alliance Virgil Roberts Leadership Academy in South Los Angeles. Toria isn’t just running a school—she’s raising the bar for what education can mean in a community. From her childhood in Watts to leading classrooms today, she shows what happens when you refuse to lower expectations for our kids.
