Laura Peña: Is This It?
When Laura Peña came home from her nine-to-five job one evening, she opened the door, saw her husband watching TV, and thought to herself: Is this it? Is this life? There must be more.
She felt like she was on a train going a million miles an hour. And then suddenly, she stopped and thought to herself: Is this where I’m supposed to be?
Today Laura is the founder of She Is The Universe, a global platform that inspires and empowers teenage girls around the world.
