Playwright Katori Hall, whose first Broadway play was produced in 2011, shared a story about when she was confronted with sexism and disrespect and how it gave her a realization. “I will never create a space that is disempowering for anybody,” she explained. “I will always have an inclusive room.”to share her own issues with misogyny and judgments — from both men and women.
When CAN-AM’s Senior VP Josée Perreault was asked about the best piece of advice she ever got about her career, she had a quick response: “For me it’s true, if you don’t trust anyone, you won’t go as fast or as far.” The day also included Grammy-winning artist Jennifer Nettles, Lauren Jauregui, Emmy-winner Uzo Aduba, actress and comedian Retta, who also all spoke throughout the event about their distinct experiences as women breaking barriers in their respective industries. Performances included Grammy-nominated artist Potter, Overcoats, Diana Gordon, and S.G. Goodman.
Perreault also discussed launching the CAN-AM On-Road Women’s Mentorship Program, since less than 20 percent of all riders are female. Created by women for women, the program breaks down the barriers women face when entering the riding community by connecting them with female mentors, engaging them with riders across North America, and enabling them to feel empowered on the open road.
