While away in college, I was introduced to women who helped me transition into an academic-led life, to ultimately, an adulthood. From that experience, they helped me realized that the people we encounter on a daily basis play key roles in our lives. They can guide us by showing us the ins and outs of a new chapter such as college or entrepreneurship. But, they can also be presented as our role models without having to be of a high social status in our communities. Our young girls need women who they can connect and reach at a personal level. If you truly believe you should not have to look far for someone to help you enhance your life, the women and networks we work with at #100GirlsLeading are exactly the mentors you have been searching for who are right within your reach.
