 In honor of International Women's Day March  8, 2020, The Women of Denim led by Lucie Gemser, owner of Sphynx along with Carved in Blue, Artistic Milliners, Sportswear International and Bluezone Munich organized the first event in NYC.

​Held at the showroom of Artistic Millners, I was pleased to attend and be a part of the conversation. The dynamic chat was moderated by Sabine Kuhnl of Sportswear International and Angela Valasquez of Rivet. Thank you to Sourcing Journal for quoting me in your article. 

And others shared how they are helping encourage the next generation of women. Courage and perseverance are qualities that denim artist and educator Holly Brown promotes in her classroom at an all-girls school in New York.

“What I try to instill is resilience and confidence—and it’s something that we really have to teach,” she said. “I don’t allow the words ‘I can’t’ in my classroom.” (Rivet March 13, 2020, written by Angela Valasquez)
