By Samantha (Sam) Dougherty
Note from Mary Kurek: Over the summer of 2021, Sam Dougherty, while interning for Wells International Foundation, *(WIF) based in Paris, France, engaged with Frontrunners Development, Inc. by joining a cohost panel to interview FIGHR Ambassador Ghazala Khan, connecting with Daughters Global Leadership mentees, and interviewing me about my own journey. I’m sharing the Youtube interview followed by Sam’s written interpretation.
