Happy International Women’s day!

On this day we reflect on the progress women have made to contribute to our society, we celebrate the courage displayed by ordinary girls and women, and we raise a call for action to Empower, Mentor, and Sponsor Ladies in our various communities to help achieve a better-balanced world.

We decided to catch up with one of our LeadHer Champions, Madison Richard – a Senior at Wheatley High school. We are so proud of her journey and we are excited about her future.
