  • Reshma Saujani is the founder of Girls Who Code and Moms First. In 2009, Reshma became the first Indian-American woman to run for Congress, and lost. That loss was the impotence for her greatest creation: Girls Who Code, a nonprofit that helps girls learn STEM, coding, and all things technology.


    Reshma saw firsthand during her run for Congress how few opportunities were given to girls in computing, and she wanted to even the playing field. From a table at her favorite restaurant in New York City, The Well, Reshma shares her many obstacles on the way to success, and what she feels she is uniquely poised to do in the next chapter of her life.

  • Monique Volz is the Founder & CEO of Ambitious Kitchen, a recipe platform dedicated to celebrating wholesome and delicious recipes that feed the body and nourish the soul. The healthy-living and food blog, inspired by the passion her parents had for cooking and baking, and the memories made at a young age, has millions of followers, with over 5 million visitors a month.


    Monique’s love affair with cooking began under the guidance of her single mother, who taught her how to make big batches of Puerto Rican rice, beans, and enchiladas, all passed down from her grandmother. She also learned baking from her father, who taught her how to make homemade yellow cake and sky-high lemon meringue pies.


    However, Monique’s story started at a very dark time in her life when she was struggling to cope with the sudden loss of her father, and also devastating anorexia. Monique ended up being hospitalized, and it was through this difficult journey that she discovered the transformative potential of cooking.
