Scarcity was a reality for Celeste Mergens growing up in poverty, sometimes without food and water. Then she rose to financial success in her life, overcoming all those obstacles and enjoying material prosperity and a life she loved. She thought she had made it, but life had other plans and brought her to Kenya where she saw how she could use her knowledge to elevate girls experiencing poverty all around the world.
Now Celeste is the CEO and Founder of Days for Girls, a 501c3 non-profit organization that won the SEED award for gender equity and entrepreneurship; was named as a ‘Next Ten’ Organization poised to change the world in the next decade by the Huffington Post; and is two-time Girl Effect Champion. By providing sustainable solutions for girls’ monthly cycles, Days for Girls shatters the stigma around menstruation and addresses the roots of gender inequity to elevate girls.
Watch this episode with an amazing woman speaker who has been featured in Oprah’s O Magazine and Forbes, and is in the trenches elevating girls all around the world.
