On this week’s episode, we travel back to July 2021 for Adweek’s annual Women Trailblazers Summit where we invite female founders and leaders that have revolutionized the workplace by challenging the status quo and breaking barriers.   Joining me to present this week's episode is Adweek’s Creative and Inclusion Editor, Shannon Miller who actually spoke to this week’s guest during the event and for an Adweek cover story about her career and the launch of her haircare brand, Pattern Beauty. Join Shannon as she sits down to discuss how this actress/producer/CEO retains creative control, and how she’s leveraging compassion and empathy to inspire inclusivity in the beauty world.  So take a break from watching reruns of ABC’s Black-ish and hear from one of the stars right now as Adweek Presents...Tracee Ellis Ross.  Follow Al on Twitter: @almannarino Subscribe to Adweek Presents... on your favorite podcast platform!
