Countless stories, quotes and authentic conversations are happening at the California Women’s Conference. Here are just a handful just spoken:
Maria Shriver, California’s First Lady and Host of the Women’s Conference (on fear and facing your fears):
“Fear tells you what action to take to prove that your inner critic is wrong.”
Indra Nooyi, CEO of Pepsico:
“The glass celing wll go away when women help other women break through that ceiling.”
Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of State (on role models):
It’s okay to be the first. If you constantly look for role models like you, then there won’t be any firsts.”
Condoleezza Rice (as a Black girl from Birmingham Alabama, who wanted to study Russia):
“Don’t let someone else define who you are…(b/c they’ll put you into a box of stereotypes)…”My advice is, do what you love and forget the rest of it”
America is known to be the great Ameritocracy. For example, stories like you can live in a log cabin and still be president. People from all over the world come to make it in America. “The only thing that makes that true is equal access to education” and “The current state of our education system is our biggest security crisis.”
