Jada Willis
The heart behind GFC
Jada Willis, the visionary behind Grow Forward Community, spent years in Human Resources witnessing the lack of support and authentic connection among women in the workplace. Known for her natural problem-solving abilities and knack for connecting like-minded people, Jada was inspired by her personal experiences to create a space where women can find their own “Crisis Crew”—a supportive network to navigate life’s challenges and celebrate successes together. Her passion for uplifting others led to the creation of GFC, where authentic relationships and growth thrive.
