You're going to want to "Like," "Wow," "Haha" and every other new Facebook reaction after the Block 1 celebrity shout-out by Facebook COO Sandberg. Sandberg made a video appearance as the first guest speaker for NUDM 2016. Here are five fast facts about Sandberg worth sharing.
- She taught aerobics. Sporting a "silver leotard, leg warmers and a shiny headband" Sandberg taught classes in the 80s while at Harvard University.
- She was sophomore class president in high school. Sandberg attended North Miami Beach Senior High School where by the end of her four years she graduated with a 4.646 GPA. Not too shabby.
- Her own Facebook page has over 1,924,984 followers. Of course we would expect her to have her own FB page but even better? She's a fan of froyo.
- She doesn't like the word "bossy." Sandberg helped start the campaign "Ban Bossy" to end girls being called bossy, a word seen as negatively affecting girls to take leadership. Beyonce also supports the cause.
- She worked for Starbucks. As a member of the board of directors, that is. Already a superstar at Facebook, Sanderberg served on the board from 2009 - 2012.
