Raised in a village in Zimbabwe with no electricity or running water, Alexandra is, without a doubt, the most accomplished person to ever appear on Raised in a village in Zimbabwe with no electricity or running water, Alexandra is, without a doubt, the most accomplished person to ever appear on "The Real World." She was the first woman of color and the youngest person ever to compete on the Zimbabwean National Gymnastics Team. After witnessing many of her childhood classmates contract HIV from vaccinations using dirty needles, she started the Kijana Project, a charity that supports AIDS orphans. As a result, she was featured in Teen People as "One of the 20 Teens Who Will Change the World." If that weren't enough, she graduated high school early and enrolled in Stanford at the age of 15, majoring in Civil Engineering. Angering her incredibly academics-oriented parents, Alexandra dropped out of Stanford eight weeks shy of graduation to focus on her burgeoning singing and songwriting career. The striking beauty now lives in Los Angeles with her musician boyfriend of 8 months, Byron. Will their relationship withstand the test of time and distance about to be put in front of them, or will they be torn apart like so many long-distance relationships in seasons past? The sun and sand of San Diego awaits... MTV Real World

You may recognize Alexandra "Alex" Govere from MTV's Real World San Diego as the level-headed confidante and resident musician. She brought the "Real" to made-for-reality-MTV drama. Alex is your typical renaissance woman with a list of accomplishments that even Thiel Fellows envy. That's why I'm so excited to live chat with her on Spreecast tonight at 10 PM EST/7 PM PST! 

Here's what's in store...

Alex and I will field questions live and thrash on challenges facing young, aspiring entrepreneurs blazing the bleeding-edge of business and social impact. I'll share war stories about living a double-life as an investment banking Analyst and social entrepreneur-activist and why pursuing an MBA isn't pure evil (despite the exorbitant cost). You'll learn about the dark tragedy that inspired the launch of StartUp Scrambles and the search for what's next.

Clickaway asking yourself more audacious questions, ready to Scramble your way ahead--faster, better, stronger.
