✨ Happy Kwanzaa! ✨ Today marks the beginning of Kwanzaa, a celebration of African heritage, unity, and culture. As we reflect on the seven principles—Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith)—we are reminded of the power of community and the strength in lifting each other up. Wishing you all a joyous and meaningful Kwanzaa filled with peace, love, and reflection! ❤️🖤💚 #HappyKwanzaa #Unity #Kwanzaa2024 #NerdyGirlSuccess #CommunityStrength

About us
Empowering Women, Building Futures At Nerdy Girl Success, our mission is to change the landscape of leadership by supporting and preparing young women to be the bold decision makers of today and tomorrow. We focus on providing career exploration and development resources, networking opportunities, and educational programs that help bridge the gap between education and the workforce. What We Do: • Provide in person programming like high school clubs, field trips, job shadowing and more. • Offer online courses like the Career Accelerator to prepare young women (ages 18-22) for professional success. • Foster partnerships with schools to create pathways to success for the young women we serve who are either entering college and/or the workforce. Who We Serve: We primarily serve young women from underserved communities who are in high school, recent high school graduates, in college, attending technical school, or seeking to enter the workforce. Our programs are designed to ensure that every woman we work with has access to the resources and opportunities she needs to succeed in the professional world. How You Can Get Involved: • Volunteer your time and expertise as a mentor, workshop leader, or speaker. • Donate to support our programs and help us reach more women in need. • Partner with us for sponsorship opportunities or collaborations that support women’s career growth. Together, we can close the opportunity gap and build a future where all women thrive in their professional lives. Connect with us to learn more and support our mission!

Please help us in welcoming Brigitte Messer, MBA to our Board of Directors in the role of Marketing Co-Chair! Brigitte is a Treasury Management Officer and she advises business owners on how to manage their day-to-day banking operations, fraud mitigation and best practices. She provides proactive solutions, insights on industry trends, and tailored support based on each client’s business needs and the growth of the business over time. She spends a lot of time building quality relationships by establishing trust and being a reliable partner. We asked Brigitte: How do you define 'Nerdy Girl Success'? "Nerdy Girl Success to me, is a club for grown up nerdy girls who have found their way through the challenges of life and career building. A collection of women who wish to share their experience and knowledge with younger versions of themselves with the hope of shaping a brighter future!" What is something that you nerd out over? "I nerd out over owls!" #nerdygirlsuccess #fyp #explorepage #boardofdirectors #changingthelandscapeofleadership

Please help us in welcoming Kerri Soukup to our Board of Directors in the role of Marketing Co-Chair! Kerri is a creative leader who drives purpose for brands and people. With 25 years of experience in the advertising industry, she nurtures brands and teams. From supporting women to step into their empowerment to inspiring students to dream bigger, she creates programs that not only energize her, but contribute to the greater good of the community. We asked Kerri: Why did you want to join the Nerdy Girl Success Advisory Board? "I am grateful for the doors graphic design has opened for me—a career that I never knew existed as a young girl growing up in Ellsworth, Kansas. This makes it really important for me to help students of all ages, showing them that their gifts can allow them to find their path forward and inspiring them to use their talent to dream bigger about what they can do." What is something that you nerd out over? "Matcha. It’s a ritual and a reminder to pause." #nerdygirlsuccess #fyp #explorepage #boardofdirectors #changingthelandscapeofleadership
