Welcome back to another episode of the Suburban Warrior podcast. We have a very special guest here with us today. Ellen Langas is not only a nationally recognized youth career education advocate, she is also extremely passionate about encouraging kids to explore and pursue the careers of their dreams.
Compelled to inspire future generations of girls and her own daughters to dream big, she founded Girls Know How and Kids Know How, and created Girls Know How® books, a national award-winning series that inspires young readers to discover careers and the life skills to help them achieve them. The series was named the Book Series of 2021 by Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® Foundation, and she was selected to host the organization’s first virtual Take Our Daughters And Sons to Work® Day global event on April 22, 2021.
