Tory Burch: Glamour Woman of the Year
“It’s amazing isn’t it, how difficult it can be for a woman or a girl to simply be ambitious?” “The Walking Dead’ and ‘Black Panther’ star Danai Gurira said as she presented designer Tory Burch with her 2019 Glamour Woman of the Year Visionary award on Monday, November 11. “To have her eye on the prize without apology. How many times do we diminish ourselves, our voices, our abilities, even our opportunities, to stay comfortably within the status quo? To not ruffle any feathers or draw attention unto ourselves? How much greatness has been lost through this pervasive type of oppression?”
She continued, “Tory is unapologetic with her brand. The bold way she adorns women with class, flair, and fun all at once, and with the way she is working to leave no woman or girl behind. To popularize feminine ambition. From the millions of dollars she invests in female entrepreneurs to her awareness campaigns, arming people with education on the grotesque gender gap that still exists in so many ways. Tory is a champion for change, using the fruits of her ambition to nurture and empower the ambition of others.”
In her acceptance speech, Tory Burch share a founding story that resonates deeply today. ““When I was first launching the company, I presented my business plan to a group of men; they were the investors. I told them I was going to build a business that focused on purpose. They very concretely said to never mention the words business and social responsibility in the same sentence,” Burch said in her speech. “Of course, that only furthered my resolve. What they called charity work, I called a business plan.” Read the rest of Tory Burch’s speech at Glamour Magazine.
