Women have so much more to achieve, due to lack of opportunities! And progress is slow. But in this fight, we need allies. Years ago, a note from an anonymous friend told me I was being discriminated against in the workplace and being paid less money simply because I am a woman. That led to my fight for justice that ultimately made a difference for all women. A movie about my struggle is...

Women are the backbone of our communities, but we are too sidelined or encouraged into professional pathways less likely to lead to executive leadership. What’s worse, public policies and practices continue to punish women for seeking personal independence, freedom of our own expression, and personal safety. Even now, our criminal legal system deals far harsher sentences to women, and young...

I spent almost a decade working with an amazing ambassador to the UN for human rights. In seeing her travel the world, I witnessed how five dollars can go a long way in certain countries, especially in countries with fragile governments and human rights abuses. Ten dollars can go even farther. What is so little for some can be a lot for others. At NEXUS, we believe in building networks and...

I am passionate about positive change, especially when it comes to the environment, women’s rights and humanity in general. I like to surround myself with change-makers who identify problems and set out to make things better. That’s why I invited Jay Rosenzweig to join the Advisory Board of our investment company FullCycle, which invests in climate restoration technologies aimed at reversing...

The numbers speak for themselves: Companies that are diverse are 75% more likely to bring innovative ideas to market and 70% more likely to capture new markets; companies with female leadership deliver 1.4x sustained profitable growth. Unfortunately, the pandemic has set women back – it will take an additional 36 years to close the global gender gap, bringing the total to 136 years, according...

I was born a village girl but didn't become a village woman in rural Uganda because of the spirit of Ubuntu, a famous South African concept by Rev. Desmond Tutu. The community taught me the passion and commitment to gender empowerment - to leave no one behind. To pay it forward, I have been blessed to mentor thousands of female entrepreneurs and leaders in Africa through my work...

Jay’s work as a philanthropist and social justice fighter is unparalleled. The elite community of thought leaders that support him are a direct result of his impact across the globe. He has become not just a mentor to me, but a brother. Together we continue to affect real change through socially conscious NFTs and I am honored to be his friend and colleague.

I am honored and humbled to have the chance to wake up each and every day knowing that my job is so much more than a title – it's all about passing the torch on to other young women and students to design the careers they love. My true belief lies in knowing that a woman can be everything she wants to be and together with a growth mindset, there is nothing we can’t do. I commend Jay Rosenzweig...

This International Women’s Day enables us an opportunity to celebrate the progress we are making advancing women into leadership and board positions as we have increasingly committed as a collective to investing in ensuring our leadership teams and boards reflect the diversity of our population. It also presents an opportunity for us as a society to collectively more boldly and urgently commit...

As a woman in the male dominated film and photography industry, I feel like I am constantly being asked to prove myself to be not just a “female” director, but a director, period. Finding allies like Jay who appreciate all artists for who they are, is a wonderful thing. For almost 20 years, Jay Rosenzweig has been fighting for gender and diversity equality. His annual Rosenzweig Report tells...

Jay is a huge advocate for women and women’s rights. It is an honour and privilege to know him. I believe the world would be a better place if more women became leaders and there were more men like Jay who recognized and supported their leadership.

I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to engage with strong, female C-suite executives early on in my career. With their mentorship, paired with exposure to some of Canada's most celebrated female corporate directors and business leaders, my professional story has evolved into one I could never have scripted. These women taught me to be bold, out front, infinitely curious, and...

I believe gratitude goes far and we should work in common cause with those who support us and the issues we support. With that in mind, that’s why I’m grateful for all the work Jay Rosenzweig has done for gender equality over the past two decades. In our exciting new world of Web3 and NFTs, there are glimmers of hope in the struggle for equality, but...

At all times, but especially as we come out of this pandemic, entrepreneurs and business leaders must be flexible, empathetic and creative to the needs of employees. Today, more than ever, personal and business are intertwined in all of us. The old expectation of leaving personal at the door when you go to work simply can’t exist anymore. Employees, especially women, have so many...

Though Jay Rosenzweig’s business is about recognizing and finding talent, his calling is about fairness and social justice. For almost two decades, Jay has been promoting gender equality and diversity in the corporate world. I believe Jay has opened many windows of opportunity for women; from recognizing their talent to helping them grow into leaders in business and society.

As an artist, film and television creator, and founder of a production label I have the privilege of a unique perspective: that of a creator and that of a founder, entrepreneur, and business woman. The Entertainment Industry has made leaps and bounds in the past few years to rectify the injustice of the societal inequities of our past not only to females but to people of color and members of...
