With over 15 years in top investment banks, Idara transitioned from Wall Street to entrepreneurship with a vision to impact her home country, Nigeria, through her nonprofit, Let Girls Run, Read, Grow. This organization is dedicated to empowering African girls through education, athletics, and entrepreneurship.
