Riley Reece

Riley Reece is a student at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. She has always had a magnetic personality and has been outspoken on the inaccuracies of the portrayal of people of color, particularly women and girls in film, tv shows and in social media.

Riley has always been fascinated by and held steadfast to the belief that everyone, especially girls and women of color, should always strive to be the very best version of their authentic self.

In her free time, Riley flexes both her physical and creative muscles. She is a leader on her high school crew team and enjoys sculling and rowing in a quad. In addition to rowing, she enjoys combining jabs, crosses and hooks with roundhouse kicks on a heavy bag. Kickboxing not only engages her major muscles but also provides a physical and mental outlet that is so necessary as she navigates this new normal chest-deep in COVID-19.
