The power of women is now self-evident; there are women at the top of more Fortune 500 companies than ever before (GM, Google, IBM, PepsiCo) more women in politics 25% of state elected positions (#RepresentationMatters) and millions marched with pink hats at the time of our new President’s inauguration.
We salute Tarana Burke the founder of the #MeToo movement, Rose McGowan who had the courage to go head to head against Harvey Weinstein, Joi McMillon who became the first African American woman nominated for an Oscar in film editing for the movie ‘Moonlight.’ Congrats to Emma, Viola, and Colleen for your Oscar moments!
We honor Attorney General Sally Yates for listening to her conscious and losing her job, and ‘SNL’ star Melissa McCarthy for becoming WH Secretary Sean Spicer. Finally, we recognize singers Adela, Taylor, and Ariana for breaking records and glass ceilings.
