“At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did. They will remember how you made them feel.’ [This quote] resonates with me because I feel my job in public engagement is creating unique experiences for people, so when they walk away you’ve touched them in a way that leaves a meaningful impression. “[The ceremony] was more than just a street renaming. In my mind, I was thinking, who am I doing this for? I am doing this for any person who feels that he or she was not valued, or perhaps they were not seen or not heard. What will people think when they walk up and see Hidden Figures Way? Will they think of those times in their life where they weren't seen, or they felt they didn't have a voice? “It was a time to make that [street] meaningful and to leave a lasting impression with people to see that name and feel proud to be part of it. That was a really proud moment for me to be charged with bringing [the ceremony] together and creating this memorable experience.” Chief of the Public Engagement Division at NASA Headquarters, Cindy Steele, poses for a portrait, Monday, February 8, 2021 at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
