Nothing happens alone, 'no matter how hard you work,' says UN ambassador, designer Rachel Roy. via CNBCMakeIt
Business owner, fashion designer and social entrepreneur Rachel Roy is a household name in the retail space. Her contemporary clothing fills the racks at department store giants like Nordstrom's and Macy's, with 250 points of sale as of 2017. She's also a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America and penned the book,"Design Your Life."
Today, Roy is speaking at the UN in New York City for International Women's Day. The theme is"Invest in Her," and Roy will be accompanied by Shadi Mehraein, a co-founder of Rivet Ventures, a firm which invests in companies in women-led markets and female-owned businesses. "Any time there is an authentic way to give back with purpose, it has been successful for me," Roy says.
"I think sexual harassment is a problem everywhere," Roy says."It's a problem when I go to the gas station. It's a problem when I go to a concert downtown and I walk to my car. I think it's a problem across all borders, all genres, all races. And within the fashion community, it's no different. It runs rampant everywhere, unfortunately. And it's scary."
