Christina Meade joins Yo today to put the spotlight on the Nerdy Girls Success organization. Their mission is to change the landscape of leadership and they do this by by supporting and preparing young women of diverse backgrounds to become the decision makers in business, politics, the arts and more, thus making their impact on society. All efforts are free for the girls! Here are some of the questions we explored: · Can you tell our listeners a little bit about your background? · How/when/who did Nerdy Girl Success get started? · What is the mission of the organization? · How many girls have you helped? · Any success stories you can share? · Can you talk about some of the events and activities you've done? We also had the pleasure of recording a few of the girls that attended the Nerdy Girls Success Career and Leadership Summit on Sept 10. Here is the website mentioned by one of the girls (Annabella Choi) you might want to check out: https://www.storiesinstem.org/ They could use our help to build awareness of their efforts by following them, making donations, and supporting their programs/events.
