Teresa reflects on her journey from growing up in Williamsburg to shaping policy from City Hall to the boardroom, and why she prizes truth-telling and coalition-building as essential tools for change. She breaks down how workforce connects affordability, small business vitality, immigration, arts & culture, and economic mobility, as well as how advocates can make those links clear to elected officials.

The conversation also looks ahead to City Hall’s next chapter: what an incoming mayor and City Council leadership will need, how the New Majority transformed representation, and what it will take to weave workforce into every major policy agenda.
