One of the hardest things to do at any age is to be brave, be your own person, strike out against injustice, and stand up for what is right. To do that at the age of 14 is beyond incredible. It is our honor to share with you the story of Jillian Stachyra from Scarsdale, New York, who took what could have been a really negative experience and turned it into an empowering one, showcasing her confidence and strength. Think Jillian is Fit to Lead? We know she is!

You are amazing! Sharing this with my 6 and 7 year old daughters. You inspire me with your inner strength and confidence! I know you will inspire my girls as well. Thank you!
Dear Jill, I enjoyed seeing you on TV today. You are an amazing person – beautiful inside, and out. Keep smiling and do not let the bullies get you down. LOTS OF LOVE … Ann
