PA: Meet the woman charged with protecting the city’s children
The Philadelphia Inquirer – September 21, 2016
When Cynthia Figueroa was named the commissioner of the Department of Human Services in July, she received more condolences than congratulations. “It really struck me. Before I had even started, [I got] this defeatist, almost negative, ‘oh, look, she’s got a smile now but just wait’ attitude,” Figueroa said in an interview last week, her first on the job. “If people want, or hope, for this department and this position to get it right, we really have to be in this more together.”
