...addition to being a 4-H benefactor, Redd is now also an official 4-H national spokesperson. In a strange series of coincidences, the mother of the program’s national public relations director happened to catch Redd’s mention of 4-H on “Millionaire” and beseeched her daughter to get Redd more heavily involved in the organization. Redd was receptive to the offer and will now travel monthly to deliver speeches to groups of children. This is actually familiar territory for Redd—last spring, she commuted to New York...

She would much rather talk about others then discuss her own “little” accomplishments. She says she is constantly motivated and inspired by her peers. “There are two types of people here at Harvard: those who are too overwhelmed by others and those who are completely motivated and pushed by the others,” she says, aligning herself with...

According to Redd and co-author Ron Foley Jr., the book explores the history of the gender gap in standardized test scores from a sociological perspective and suggests measures that young females can take to tackle the problem...
While Foley originally contracted to write the book himself, he says he needed someone “down on the ground” to co-write. That’s where Redd, who conveniently is female and did well on her SATs, came into the picture. Redd regularly works as a freelance writer for educational websites, including that of the Princeton Review, and one of her editors mentioned Foley’s quest for a co-author. “The editor and I had only communicated via e-mail and one day she sent me an e-mail asking...
