Words Will Never Hurt Me

In support of Women’s History Month, we dedicated a week of briefings to the Female Future. Digest a key point from the briefing here and watch the full conversation below.

More and more, women leaders are ignoring stereotypes men have incorrectly ascribed. “These activists we see once in a generation from Malala to Gretchen, they say I’m not going to be bullied. I’m going to share what my truth is,” added guest Snigdha Sur, Editor of the South Asian journal, The Juggernaut. The next class of female activist is taking microphones and muting haters, emphasizing our rising Element of Culture, Unapologetic. Data shows women score higher in leadership skills including resiliency, initiative, and self-development, yet we are still 130 years away from seeing parity in heads of state and even further in the world of business. With more and more women holding truth up to power, it’s time to leave name-calling on the playground and put women in leadership roles.
