She brings approximately 15 years of professional experience with over 10-years of nonprofit management and governance experience into her role at GOTR. Aiesha has successfully developed and implemented new programs, created sustainable fund development campaigns and cultivated strategic relationships, but most of all, she has intense personal and professional dedication to serving children and their families. Aiesha strives to impact the lives of the communities she serves.

In part 2, we continue talking to Aiesha about the Girls on the Run program and how she has seen it affect the communities she serves, as well as how it has affected her own life. We also talk about why our society makes programming like this needed for girls and the challenges girls face that require the building of confidence and inner strength.
