Empowerment
Empowered women empower other women – was the motto of the panel. Highlighting the importance of inclusivity and equality when it pertains to representation. Jordan Emanuel, Model, Philanthropist & Founder at 844 Swim; Sydney Maisel Straitman, Director at Commonwealth Packaging, and Elle B. Mambetov, Founder & Designer at Elle B. Zhou, moderated by Ayesha Barenblat, Founder & CEO at Remake, created this dialogue, also highlighting that there’s no trend that each person needs to follow, what they portray is the definition of style. Just like Emanuel said, “women haven’t been empowered, historically speaking, to activate multiple sides of themselves and as we continue to branch out in any interest that we have, it’s going to cause a little discomfort”.
