Meet Pauline Lee, Program for Intellectual Empowerment
Pauline Lee, even before she came into the world, was putting others' needs ahead of her own. She’s the youngest of 4 kids, the last two being twins, of which she was the younger. But when her mom Nancy went into labor Pauline was the twin who was ready to enter the world first. Then… her sister Patricia began having problems and the docs called an audible and instead of delivering Pauline, brought Patricia into the world first, via C-section. You could make the argument that Patricia owes Pauline her life… tongue-in-cheek, of course.
But there it is, still in the womb and already helping others. That’s just who she is. Pauline devoted her life to helping and lifting up others. In 2018 she felt God leading her to open an education program for children who are neurodivergent. Since then children that were often labeled with behavior problems or socially awkward, began to thrive, learn, grow and discover who they wanted to be and how they could contribute to society.
She’s studied the issues, seen what really works for, well, everyone, those of us who are classified as disabled or not. We’re born to communicate and connect, but more often than not, we forget how to do just that. And you know, that’s a bigger issue that’s really bubbled to the surface over the past several years.
