Keys to Success

This week, the KEYS TO SUCCESS Podcast welcomes Fionnghuala (Fig) O'Reilly. Fig is the current Miss Universe Ireland and Host of NASA's Space Apps DC. She is also a NASA Datanaut and International Model! Fig discusses some of the highlights of being Miss Universe Ireland, her challenges getting her Engineering degree, and how the Black Lives Matter Movement has played out in Ireland. Here's a sneak peak of this week's episode: [Fig]: "It has been so amazing to have been able to become the very first Black woman and Woman of Color Miss Universe Ireland because there are so many girls, I think, that can see themselves represented in places and spaces where they maybe never saw themselves before."
