It was a powerful reminder that we can all learn and grow from those who have paved the way before us. We also discussed the importance of seeking out uncomfortable feedback, embracing resilience, and never underestimating the impact of even a brief moment of mentorship.

What We Talk About:

- The profound impact of mentorship on young women's confidence and aspirations
