How Every Girl Can Make it the C-Suite
At 16, Jody Bell was a CEO.
Jody had never imagined having the skills to be a successful entrepreneur at such a young age, let alone become the founder of her own company.
“I had this idea,” she said. “But I didn't know how to bring it to life.”
AJody Bell talks about her venture, “In Case of Deportation”, which she developed through Girls With Impact.
Her school guidance counselor told her about Girls With Impact – a live, online business and leadership program. Jody was off and running.
With the help of her Girls With Impact coach and her classmates from around the country, Jody created a venture – In Case of Deportation-- to help educate teens about immigration and deportation issues. She later made international news.
And when it came time to apply for college, Jody says her business gave her that college admissions advantage – and landed her a $20,000 scholarship.
“Girls With Impact allow girls to follow both their philanthropic and business passions and create meaningful ventures that far exceed the expected capabilities of someone their age,” says Jody, who also serves as Editor of Girls With Impact’s Blog.
With ideas and a passion for social impact, Jody and other teen CEOs have paved their own path to success with the help of Girls With Impact.
