Zakiya Smith, an education policy superstar who landed on Forbes' 30 Under 30 in Education list last year, participates in our latest Q&A on Recess, YEP-DC's blog. She talks with our Amanda Klein about the challenges of working in the White House and the differences between her work there and now at the Lumina Foundation. She also dishes some great career advice: "Someone once told me, 'Make it hard to not have you in the room.' You should strive to learn enough about an issue, or a set of issues, so that you are so valuable that people constantly want to have you in the room."
