How would you like to see networks for ambitious women change?
“I'd like to see them get more remote or accessible. As someone who isn't living in a big city like New York or LA, it is more difficult to network with these types of women!”
“A strong community has the potential to self-actualize. As you witness a friend achieve their goals, you start to think, well if they can do it, I can! And suddenly, your eyes open to all the power that you have.”
