My name is Nia Reeves, and I’m a 22-year-old from Chicago. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia and became involved in a few organizations similar to Girls Inc. I love to paint, exercise and cook in my spare time. I also know American Sign Language! Girls Inc. will allow me the opportunity to nourish and build up girls that look just like me. I have always been an advocate for girls and mentorship. I am ecstatic to see what this opportunity brings!
What’s your best advice for your younger self?
It is okay to speak up for yourself, stand your ground and say no. There will be moments that will make you doubt yourself, but these moments will only make you stronger. Believe in yourself, your voice and your purpose.
