Advocate and non-profit entrepreneur, Reilly Cate Ferguson, joins the Show!! At just 13 years old Reilly walked into GiGi’s Nashville to volunteer her time, having no connection to disabilities. The experience was so impactful on her that at just 15, she started her own non-profit serving people with Down syndrome! As founder and president of Brushfield International, she is on a mission to enhance the global Down syndrome story by providing community, hope, and support to people impacted by Down syndrome!
In this episode, Reilly tells us the story of her journey, starting with her time volunteering at GiGi’s Nashville, her inspiration to start Brushfield International, and how she has been able to balance life as only a freshman in college! She shares what she has learned so far, how her connection to Down syndrome was formed, a beautiful message to the world, what the future holds for her, and of course her inspirational ‘something extra’! This episode is all about being a change-maker and how it doesn’t matter your background, the key is just finding your purpose! With this one, we hope to inspire more people to live like Reilly!
