Created by Women for Women: Disrupting Mainstream Standards and Creating Inclusive Products and Spaces

We asked these visionary female founders to share the why behind their businesses. From bridging the gap between tech and gender inclusivity, to challenging definitions of beauty and taking the taboo out of periods, this talk was packed full of passion, insights, and myth-busting power.

“It’s about creating new terminology and that’s partly the difficulty. You’re having to pave the way to disrupt some old, persistent language and habits.”

Amber Hawthorne

Founder, Bambu Earth

I'm Amber, the founder of Bambu Earth. My goal is to disrupt traditional fear-based marketing concepts and remind people that they were created on purpose and are innately beautiful. You're beautiful and there's nothing we can do about it.
