Girls’ education is critical to growth.

Jordan Daly could be categorized as one of those 9 to 5ers turned do-gooders but to boil down the road she’s traveled thus far to a simple 2 step from one career to another would be a huge disservice and misrepresentation of her journey.

Do you ever see or observe a group of people and long to be a part of them? Not for any of the benefits you might receive from being connected to them, but just because they have each other, because you want to belong. I might have always felt that way, I might still feel that way at times as well, but never with SERENE. There’s no “you can’t sit with us” vibe or exclusivity about us.... Get the full story
