I wish this program had existed when I was a young girl. In our conversation, Illana shares how her bestselling "Epic Mentor Guide" book is a logical extension of her Etre Girls program. It includes 180 questions written by young girls, answered by leaders in many professions. including famous celebrities and well-known leaders.
I loved this book because the wise advice and perspective from the mentors is helpful for all of us. The book is written in an easy-to-read format and it's a fun read.
