Wow, we are absolutely energized after yesterday’s luncheon event! It was standing room only—an incredible turnout filled with powerful discussions on the actions needed to drive change and achieve equity for women in marketing, media, and tech. A heartfelt thank you to Andy Plesser and the entire Beet.TV team for hosting yet another successful event! And thanks to Magnite for sponsoring a fantastic lunch We're especially grateful to the inspiring panelists who shared their wisdom and sparked so many thought-provoking conversations. Here are a few soundbites: “Bringing diverse talent together on a team can be completely magical.” Kristi Argyilan “If you get into 'the' room, don’t waste it. Do everything you can with the opportunity.” – Denise Colella “Bring someone in and help them find the courage to speak up and sit at the table. Make them feel that they belong.” – Wendy MacGregor “Be a safe space for others. Allowing junior talent to come to you with questions and feedback will be one of the most powerful things you can do.” – Aja Johnson These insights left us feeling more inspired than ever to rise alongside other women and continue advocating for inclusivity, opportunity, and change in our industries. Together, we are unstoppable! ??? #WomenEmpowerment #BreakTheBias #LeadingWithPurpose #BeetTVEvents
