It certainly seems to be the new literacy and one of the new forms of literacy that over time as soft rates the world tomorrow mark and reasons expressionYeah if you don't want to be displaced if you want to be able to compete you need to at least understand the ABCs, he says.
Karlie Kloss (IG: @karliekloss) is an entrepreneur and supermodel who was discovered at a local charity fashion show at age 13 and has been modeling professionally ever since.
Karlie has walked for and starred in campaigns for top designers including Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Adidas, Carolina Herrera, and Swarovski, among many others.
Outside of modeling, Karlie's personal passion for coding led her to launch Kode With Klossy, a nonprofit that empowers young women to code and become leaders in tech -- poised to expand in 2018 to 50 camps in 25 cities.
Time Magazine has recognized Karlie for her entrepreneurship and philanthropic work on its 100 Most Influential People list, and she has also been featured on the covers of Fast Company and Forbes for her work with Kode with Klossy.
Karlie hosts Freeform six-part series Movie Night with Karlie Kloss and is a correspondent for Netflix's Bill Nye Saves the World.
