Today we’d like to introduce you to Eugenia Wallace.
Hi Eugenia, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Female Force Association started in my college dorm room. At the time, I didn’t know it was going to be Female Force. I just knew women on campus needed a safe place to come talk, laugh, cry, and not feel judged. So, every week I would send out invitations to women on campus to come over for about an hour or so to take time to reflect and encourage one another. That was just the beginning!
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
The journey has not always been smooth. From figuring out how to expand this initiative into a business, to step out of my comfort zone, to learn what not to do first, it made this experience with while! I struggled with marketing, finding others to believe in, and understand what Female Force Association is all about.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m addition to running FFA, I am a Data Administrator for a global law firm. I’ve worked with this firm for two years now. I am currently finishing my master’s degree at Washington University of St. Louis and after I will attend the School of Law as a JD candidate. In my free time, I am a working published model.
We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
COVID-19 has taught me the importance of learning how to pivot. When COVID-19 came around we had to cancel several events and lost lots of money. However, those lessons were absolutely necessary for me as a businesswoman. I learned that what was important during that time was to bring encouragement to the community. We learned how to produce under pressure and restrictions. I’ve learned that in circumstances like COVID, you have to show up, you have to do the work, you have to plan, because there will come a time when hard times will pass, and your work will have to produce results.
