Dr. Kierce was in New York this week after being selected by the Tory Burch Foundation to attend the Embrace Ambition Summit: Confronting Stereotypes & Creating New Norms for women entrepreneurs. She noted the experience to be one of her favorites both personally and professionally, and was intimately reminded of the beauty and power of diversity. She was also reminded of the amazing men, of all ethnicities and backgrounds, who support women’s equal rights.
Dr. Kierce felt the entire was summit was unbelievably inspiring and enlightening and that all speakers and topics were phenomenal. Nevertheless, the bolded speakers were her most favorite. The session topics and video start times are below. Enjoy!
