As a young female who is still trying to get her career rolling, I face a lot of insecurities in my abilities, and have little confidence in myself. This summit was amazing, it gave me inspiration, advice, and support. I find myself simply wanting to go back to the summit and feel welcomed yet again. I cannot wait until the next summit
