Testimonials

“Millie Speaks is a unique event for women who are looking to be a better version of themselves and to inspire other women to embrace their unique value to the world. As a young woman, this was the exact impression I gained from the whole experience. From meeting female entrepreneurs to experienced politicians-- my view of what I can make of myself has been completely reenvisioned. This event showed me the potential I hold within and how I can battle the challenges associated with being a driven woman in a seemingly inequitable world. I had the opportunity to attend the inaugural Millie Speaks event which was studded with women who have the courage to stand for what they believe in and pursue their passions with rigor. I spent most of my time in awe of the women who spoke as keynotes and on panels. I spent the remaining time at the event trying to drink in the confidence these women exude. Despite their full steam career drive, these women see reason to do good for their communities. They exhibit selflessness and embody the ideologies of shared success in deeply contagious ways.
My favorite part of Millie Speaks by far was that I saw myself in these strong women. I recognize that embracing the intersectionality of my true identity is pivotal to personal and professional growth as described by Suzanne Afanah. Millie Speaks helped me realize this—there are few more powerful feelings than that of genuine inspiration from those who look and think like the authentic self.”
