Each month, ProjectFresh teams up with the fantastic Downtown Independent Theater for a focused night of discussion with our community. The diverse evenings aim to both inspire minds and encourage action.
Women are more empowered and educated than ever, however business is still a male dominated domain. What are the obstacles, external or self-imposed, that women still face that prevent them from breaking through as successful business people? As the prior structure crumbles, how can women stop trying to replicate the masculine energy and instead use their intuitive power to move themselves, their business, and the world, into a new age?
The glass ceiling has cracked – now what will it take to shatter the whole thing?
A special thanks to YWSE LA, and others listed below, for helping construct the program. We’ll be donating a portion of the proceeds to the EmpowHer Institute.
