W Hotels creates new talk series “ What She Said” the brand’s popular initiative that celebrates femininity. The initiative defines femininity by experience, not by gender, and since launching in 2016, What She Said has given a platform to Diane von Furstenberg, Jenna Lyons, Rachel Zoe, LeToya Luckett, Tig Notaro, Cheryl Hines, Niia and more all around the world.
As conversations in society have evolved, W Hotels adapted its What She Said program, which will “focus on providing safe spaces for conversation to drive progress in the gender equality movement by bringing in provocative speakers, cultivating community and sparking conversation that inspires, educates and enlightens.” In addition to panels hosted with experts, W will host at least one dinner each month, bringing often-behind-closed-doors conversations into the light through podcasts, videos and live-streamed content.
“The next iteration of What She Said will once again offer a global platform for essential conversations to be heard, navigating the challenges and triumphs of work, love, play and everything in between,” said ANTHONY INGHAM, GLOBAL BRAND LEADER, W Hotels Worldwide. “Our global presence gives us the opportunity to foster meaningful discussions in a safe space, rooted in the idea that change comes from a place of understanding and positivity.”
