The Tory Burch Foundation, a nonprofit to empower women, is bringing together leaders, activists, and performers to challenge bias and create new norms for its second Embrace Ambition Summit in celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month.
The Summit will build on the Foundation’s ongoing global initiative to address the double standard that exists around ambition and is part of its overarching mission to advance women’s empowerment and entrepreneurship.
In 2018, the Foundation held its first Embrace Ambition Summit in New York City, with formidable speakers including Tory Burch, Margaret Atwood, Yara Shahidi, Zoey Deutch, Julianna Margulies, Marley Dias, Yeonmi Park, Ibtihaj Muhammad and more.
About the #EmbraceAmbition Initiative
Inspired by Tory Burch’s personal experience as a woman entrepreneur, the #EmbraceAmbition initiative was started by the Tory Burch Foundation in 2017 and aims to address the double standard that exists around ambition, which is often seen as a compliment for men and a critique of women.
