In fact, Reece's transformative Jesuit education at Fordham was itself a catalyst for his decision to join FGSW. Find out more about FGSW at their website and on Instagram, @fordhamgsw.

Feminism, Women’s Stories: The Creative Process: Empowering Stories, Inspiring Women, Gender Equality, Women's Rights & EmpowermentHighlights - Abby Ajayi - Creator of “Riches” - Writer/Producer “Inventing Anna” “The First Lady”"I think leadership, particularly for women, can be a very dicey proposition because there's a lot of unconscious bias that we have to unpack, and sometimes that's internalized as well. And sometimes it's when you go before other people, but I think the confidence to know that one has earned one's place there. And it was important for me to remember, I do not have to be perfect because there is a perfectionism thing, you can and will make mistakes, and that shouldn't mean that you never get another opportunity or that you are punished for it....
