Incredible Girls
Incredible Girls is about contemporary girls under the age of 25 who are doing awe-inspiring and significant things in the world. Nominated by our community, these girls are changing the world through new inventions, advocacy, and overcoming challenges that sought to limit them. They inspire us and challenge us to continue forward until every girl, everywhere, is given the equal opportunity and rights she deserves.
Every Friday in 2019, we post a column detailing the life of an Incredible Girl and why you should know about her.
