Our first Girls Talk event was a night to remember at the Museum of the City of New York. A powerful lineup of leaders across corporate, non-profit, and educational sectors came together to highlight the importance of empowering young women in their career journey and beyond. The conversation surrounded a theme of how to help women reach their highest potential, push boundaries, and learn to use your voice with confidence. Guests included students, families, mentors, sponsors, partners, and more to support this incredibly important conversation.
"Learn learn learn learn learn. This is the time to try anything and everything. You're just starting out. Lean into it. This time is a special time to learn and grow and really focus on yourself. Bring your authentic self. That's your power in knowing and presenting what your strengths are," said panelist, Jessica Taylor. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our inspiring panelists, student presenter, and moderator for supporting and leading this panel discussion.
