Mentor Watch: Ten Key Takeaways from Être’s Q2 2024
As Q2 2024 draws to a close and summer breaks wide open, it’s time to lower our sunglasses and gaze back at a blazingly bright past quarter. Having spent decades in M&A, I take particular pride in poring over performance, marking trends, and setting outrageous new goals. With this Mentor Watch I’m thrilled to share Être’s top 10 mentor moments of Q2 – along with our thanks to the women and companies opening boardroom doors, forging new partnerships, speaking to us from space and seeing girls’ potential.
Mentors matter – earlier than most think – and Être’s latest quarter shows how much.

And that’s not the only reading material we’re sharing!
With members of the Être community announcing books of their own during this quarter, we can’t wait to recommend MIT sophomore Gitanjali Rao’s second book, A Young Innovator’s Guide to Planning to Success (released on June 4), Barnard senior Riya Goel’s second book, Brewing Community: The Latte Effect (released on June 10), and 14-year-old Nandi Bushell’s debut book The Life-Changing Magic of Drumming: A Beginner’s Guide by Musician Nandi Bushell (releasing on July 30).
Will there be magic ahead in Q3?
Without a doubt.
Will we share all of it here and across social media?
Without question.
Will we feature your next mentor move in this newsletter?
Without hesitation.
DM and tell me what the next quarter holds for you, and we'll happily spotlight your work! It’s going to be a tremendous summer – we need shades for futures this bright.
Looking forward,
Illana
