Aisha Miller
Ph.D., Vice President, Related Beal
"When you're a Black woman, sometimes the only one in the room, it can be intimidating. I’ve been fortunate to have educational experiences that helped me build the confidence to use my voice and exert my expertise. I love that Girls’ LEAP is doing that for young girls and nonbinary youth, much earlier in their lives."
