"Being in the foundation has allowed me to be fearless. With all of the mentors we have, I've met so many different women who empower me to know that no matter which way I go, I will be somebody. Look at all of these amazing women who are somebody. If they can do it, why can't I with all of the support and encourage I have received as a member of the RWF Girls into Women program." - Kissah, RWF Class of 2021
