Can you tell us a little bit about the Women of Worth partnership you're doing with L'Oréal?
The initiative is L'Oréal Paris' signature initiative, and it's born out of that iconic tagline, "Because you're worth it." Every year, L'Oréal Paris chooses ten women, and it recognizes the worth of everyday women making a profound impact in their local communities through philanthropy.
What originally made you want to be part of the initiative?
Part of what I love about L'Oréal Paris is that it's not only a beauty brand, but at the core of L'Oréal Paris' values is that sense of worth. The Women of Worth initiative is an extension of that sentiment, in uplifting and really affirming and highlighting each person's individual worth.
Are there any women's causes that are particularly important to you?
Mental health and LGBTQ rights issues I've strongly advocated for, for a number of years, but increasingly, I've also been speaking on the climate crisis and sustainability, as the climate crisis has been shown to disproportionately affect women all over the world. It's a really important factor when we're speaking about equality.
Are there any women in your life who have inspired you?
I've been inspired by the women closest to me in my life, my family and also my work. It's incredible to be a part of such a strong and diverse group of women in being part of the L'Oréal Paris family, for sure.
What's it like for you to be in a place in your career where you can kind of give a louder voice to these issues that you care about?
It's such a privilege to be able to speak about issues close to my heart, but also issues that matter greatly to a number of people all over the world, and it's also something that I don't take lightly, as I know that not everyone has the ability to be heard in the way that they deserve.
