Feliz cumpleaños, querida Kelly!

On this special day, I want to celebrate you, your heart, your vision, and the powerful light you bring into the world. Working with you at Bilingual Bridges has been a gift, and I am constantly in awe of your strength, compassion, and unwavering commitment to equity, justice, and human connection.

Thank you for everything that you are and everything that you do. You truly have the gift of bringing light to those who are surrounded by darkness, and your presence is a reminder that leadership can be both fierce and tender. You inspire us to lead with love, walk in truth, and build bridges where walls once stood.

Wishing you a year full of joy, clarity, deep peace, and the same boundless love you so freely give to others.

Con mucho cariño y gratitud,

Martha

Kellita, feliz feliz en tu día!

I'm deeply grateful for having met you. You’re a one-of-a-kind leader!

BB blessed my life and filled me with so much wisdom and growth.

You believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself, and you continue to be such an inspiration and source of motivation in my life.

Thank you for your trust, for opening doors for me, and for always pushing me to go the extra mile.

While many good leaders do this, I don’t think I’ve ever met one who also trusted my astrological forecasts! 🧙

You deserve all the love you spread and so much more. Wishing you the best day ever and a thriving year ahead! 💓

Ya queremos pastel! Ya queremos pastel! Happy Birthday Kelly, I do not think I will say something the rest of the team has not said already, but I hope you are having an incredible birthday. Thank you so much for everything you have done for all of us. BB has changed and touched the lives of so many people including teachers, students, parents, families and even communities.

I cannot put into words how much you and BB mean to me. But I hope all these messages help you see the impact you have had. Thank for creating what it is for many of us, the best opportunity we ever had.

You are always there for us and though sometimes we do not say it, we definitely rely on your guidance and wisdom. Sending lots of hugs from Guatemala!

Wishing you an amazing day, month, year, life!

Kellita, I wanted to take a moment to express something that goes beyond our professional roles at BB. While you are my boss, our relationship has truly come to mean so much more to me, and I consider you a deeply respected mentor and friend.

It's hard to put into words the profound impact you've had on my life since I joined the team. You haven't just guided me in my career; you've genuinely helped me grow as a person. Your belief in my potential, even when I might have doubted it myself, has pushed me to achieve a lot of things.

Through every challenge and every success, you have consistently been there. Your encouragement, advice, and understanding have been invaluable through every personal/professional matter. Knowing I have someone like you in my corner, through both the good times and the tough ones, means the world to me.That's a rare gift, and I am incredibly grateful for it. There's a lot of specific things I'm grateful for but when I was going through my sister's trial situation you know what you did for ME. And it will stick with me forever. We share love for sooo much things ( elephants, sunflowers etc..)

Today, as we celebrate you, I want you to know you truly takeee the spirit of Bilingual Bridges! building not just a great company, but also a supportive family. We've been through it all laugh, cries everything. Y como dice la cancion: peleamos, nos arreglamos nos mantenemos en esas pero nos amamos haha!!

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, filled with joy, laughter, and everything wonderful you deserve.

Happy Birthday to an inspiring leader and an extraordinary person! 🎂🎁

Your kindness, vision, and unwavering support have made a real difference in all our lives here in the BB family. 💙 I’ll always be grateful for how you welcomed me into the company, believed in my potential, and supported me during a time I truly needed it. 🙏

One of the things that I truly admire about you and always warms my heart is that you always, without fail give back to our students which is something I can relate to because also love doing it. 🌞 I also appreciate and love that you ensure no student is left out and that they always get something special. 💖
Kelly, I hope and pray that this year brings you as much joy and fulfillment as you so generously bring to others. Wishing you continued success, happiness, and all the blessings you deserve. ✨
Have a beautiful birthday Boss Lady Kelly, and thank you for everything! 🤗

Kelly, I’ll never forget the day you gave me my first chance to support BB with digital media. You didn’t just give me the opportunity, you gave me trust. That small opening turned into one of the most meaningful chapters of my journey here. You believed in my voice, encouraged my creativity, and somehow always knew when I needed that extra nudge or kind word.

Being led by you doesn’t feel like being “managed.” It feels like being seen, heard, and valued. You show up not just as a leader, but as a human who genuinely cares, and that’s such a rare and beautiful thing. Whether it’s a gentle check-in, remembering birthdays weeks in advance, or catching on to things before we even say them, you hold space for all of us in a way that feels soft and strong at the same time.

And there’s one message from you I’ll carry forever: “I pay attention... You’ve just been in the back of my mind, so I try to keep an eye on things.”

That line hit different. Because in a world where people rush past each other, you pause. You see. Because that’s you. You don’t just run things, you notice people. You carry their stories, their ups and downs, and somehow, you always show up with exactly the right energy.

I’ve learned so much just from watching the way you lead, with compassion, intention, and a quiet kind of brilliance that stays with people long after the meeting ends.

Wishing you a day filled with everything you pour into others: joy, light, and laughter. You deserve every bit of it and so much more. 💙

Kelly, happy Birthday, feliz cumpleaños a ti! 🥳

I feel so lucky to be celebrating another year with you! You’re an amazing person with the kindest heart, always looking out for everyone, and that’s one of the many reasons we care about you and appreciate you so much.

What you’ve built at BB is more than inspiring and I thank God that one day you decided to leave the classroom and follow your dreams (yay! jaja). Now, those dreams have turned into a company that provides jobs for over 80 people and is built on values and love 💚💙.

Thank you for everything! I send you all the positive vibes for your life, your work, and everything you do to continue to be blessed and keep growing. I’ve always believed people cross paths for a reason, and thanks to you, I’ve grown so much both professionally and personally.

Thank you for shaping us, for always supporting us, for being a friend when we need one, and for always making us laugh. I hope your day is amazing.

Sending you a big hug from Guatemala! 🇬🇹🎂🎈

Happy Birthday, Boss! 💼👑💕

From your loyal co-conspirator in both strategy and chaos — somehow, we turned building a platform from scratch into a full-contact sport (complete with plot twists, caffeine highs, and “wait… why is that button doing that?” moments). 💻⚙️☕

You’re sharp, kind, unapologetically confident, and always five steps ahead — sometimes ten if you’re in your Barbie CEO heels. 👠💅

Working with you is equal parts growth and comedy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. You lead with heart, vision, and the kind of flair that deserves its own limited-edition doll.

Here’s to another year of big ideas, bold moves, and, of course, a few more “creative detours.” Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Happy Birthday, Boss Barbie. You really are one of one. 🎂✨🚀

I hope your special day is filled with happiness, love, and moments that bring you peace and joy. Thank you for always being such a thoughtful, kind, and supportive person.

You truly lead with heart, and it shows in everything you do. I hope you can take some time today to step away from work, relax, and celebrate yourself. May you be surrounded by people who love you and reminded of just how appreciated you are.

Wishing you a beautiful year ahead, full of good health, exciting opportunities, and everything that brings you joy.

Un abrazo muy fuerte a la distancia y que tengas un cumpleaños inolvidable. ¡Te lo mereces! 💛🌟

"Happy Birthday to an amazing leader!

Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and all your favorite things. You're not only an incredible guide, but also a kind and compassionate person who truly cares about the well-being of those around you.

I'll never forget the first time we met when I had to miss my first class due to an unfortunate accident. You immediately put my health and safety above everything else, showing me that you value the people you work with. Your leadership is inspiring, and your empathy is a rare and precious quality.

Here's to another year of making a positive impact on the lives of those around you! "

Dear Kelly,

It’s hard to express just how rewarding it has been to work with you and to have the chance to learn from you. Your leadership has made it possible for me to be part of a workplace that genuinely values and supports its teachers.

You are truly an inspiring leader—the best I’ve ever had—and I hope you have a wonderful birthday filled with joy and the excitement of everything the future holds. I believe that beautiful things happen to beautiful souls.

Keep looking ahead to all the great things still to come. And when you look back, let it be to see how much you’ve built. You’ve created an incredible team that will continue to grow—and I’ll always be proud to be part of it.

Hello, boss!

I am joining the celebration because there's so much to celebrate about your life that I don't want to miss the opportunity to tell you why you are a great human. 🫶🏼 You have impacted so many lives in such a remarkable way that you must know how lucky we feel to be a part of this project and your life.

I admire you as a business woman, but most importantly, I admire your heart and the way you CARE. Not only do you care about our students in making sure that they are receiving quality education, but also about us teachers in making sure we feel appreciated (see image attached lol).

I know that you will be BIG, even bigger than you are today. All this being said, I have the best wishes for you, professionally, and personally. I hope you enjoy your day with your loved ones, eat your favorite food, and do things that make you happy, you deserve it. ❤️

Feliz cumple!! What I admire most about you Kelly is that you truly care. You care about the children’s growth, about your team and that’s inspiring and heartwarming. Thank you for understanding how “scary” freelancing could be and always taking me into account, even asking if I could accommodate my schedule so I could have more work. That’s truly appreciated! And I’m also grateful that you give us spaces to develop our passions like the book club, or moments to bond like the coffee chats or even a nice message to wish us good luck. Gracias, Kelly. Sos una grande! Abrazo de gol.

Happy birthday dear Kelly!

Today is a day to celebrate your life and hard work. We are all thankful to have you as boss and colleague. What a blessing has been being part of the BB team through these years. I really appreciate your confidence and patience despite the fact you have not had the opportunity to know everyone in person and you has given us the opportunity to be part of this project. I remember when I had my interview with you (a little bit more than three years ago) and we were very few back then- if I am not wrong and felt your care and responsibility to make it all work out. I am so glad that you can see part of that hard work becoming true today.

Hope during this new year for you, God continues blessing you and watching over your life!

Lots of love and hugs!

Your leadership is more than just guidance—it’s a beacon of comfort, security, and stability for all of us. You’ve built not just an organization, but a home where we’re empowered to make a difference in the lives of the children we serve. Your unwavering kindness and respect remind us daily why we do what we do.

Kindly,

I still remember my very first Coffee Chat☕️ in BB more than two years ago when Kelly talked so proudly about visiting my country. We realized we’d been to a lot of the same places, which was such a fun surprise. She even showed me her mate, and I couldn’t believe she actually drank it! 🤭 That moment really stuck with me. Kelly’s such a strong and inspiring woman, and it’s amazing how she’s built and runs BB so smoothly.

Thanks you for making BB such a great place to grow!✨️ I'm very happy to be part of it! Happy Birthday Kelly!!!🥳

It’s been amazing to see how much the program has grown, and I’m so proud to be part of it. You’ve built something truly special, and I’m grateful to be along for the ride.

Kelly is a rare being! I've worked with different employers and I can tell that Kelly is super different and amazing. She is down to earth, caring, understanding, and loving. Her style of leadership is admirable and transferable. She has a way of making you feel better and accepted. She doesn't discriminate at all. Oh, she is always ready to help in every way of possible to ensure everything is perfect. She is hardworking and optimistic about all her teachers.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to contribute my quota here in BB. Thank you for the wonderful impacts you make here in ensuring that BB runs smoothly. You are one in a zillion. I pray that your new age will be filled with goodness, blessings, joy, love, peace, and supernatural breakthroughs in the name of Jesus.

All the way from Lagos, Nigeria, I wish you the most beautiful HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kelly!

I just wanted to say thank you for creating a safe space. It is almost like I came over to have dinner and you asked me to “sit a spell” and you introduced me to your family. That is how it feels with BB, and this is because of having a good leader. So, I thank you for creating a professional space that feels like home! 🩷🫶🏽

Kelly is a genuine person, and is one of a kind.

I remember being in a difficult situation and needed Kelly's help, but she was on vacation. So, I decided to contact her anyway; and surprisingly, she replied instantly and I got a positive answer. This warmed my heart and will always be grateful, and give thanks to God for who she is and for what she brings to the world.

Kontinye briye (keep shining)!

My moved to Japan has been a struggle. I felt so embarrassed when I disappointed the BB team most especially Kelly because of the absences I had. I was in the idea of quitting. Kelly tried her best to make me feel better and understood. Aside from that Kelly accepted and believed in me although I am not a native speaker. Most of the time I always receive comparison between the difference between those aspect But Kelly never thought of that and believed that I can and have the ability to be an educator to all the students we are having. I will always be forever grateful to Kelly and will always support and love BB Family. Happy Birthday Kelly!

Wish you all the best!

I'm new in the BB team, but I will never forget how Kelly welcomed and wished me good luck in my first day delivering a lesson. I've never had a leader who did that and it was an awesome way to begin my journey. I look forward to more interactions with you and hope that, if I'm ever a leader, I can learn from your example.

Happy birthday! :)
