Our 15th mentor is the incredible ✨Merida Miller ✨, a fearless “empowerer” and problem solver. 

She is originally from the East coast of the USA but has been based in Amsterdam for the last four years. She started her career journey in fashion 👗 and is now the founder of a non-profit organization that has the mission to empower young girls 💫. 

After 7.5 years working as an advanced concept designer for Underarmour, Merida decided to shift her career and was drawn to create an organization driven by her never-ending desire to grow and impact others🤝. This is how Project Fearless came to be, a non-profit that strives to mentor, coach, empower and encourage any type of girl from ages 9 to 14 to discover themselves and find their own voice. 

One of Merida’s biggest life discoveries is that role models come in all ages, and we learn from her to trust our own instincts when it comes to creating our career paths 💼. She shares how she paid attention to what were the situations in which she was her best and happiest self 💗, in order to make the necessary changes in her life that lead her to shift her career into one that allows her to do what she does best and loves the most. 

We discuss the importance of role models and how they come in all shapes and sizes. Also, how every experience is a learning one and how precious it is to create and belong to spaces where we empower each other 👩🏽‍💼👩🏼‍💼.
