Batsheva Hay, Simi Hoffman and Roza Sinayski: Modesty, Taking Risk and Finding Your Voice
Episode 5, Feb 20, 2022, 08:00 AM
This conversation initially took place live at our second Reflective Collective in NYC: a night of connection, conversation and making modesty mainstream. Our Founder & CEO, Liza Sakhaie, sat down for a panel conversation with these 3 powerhouse women. As fashion entrepreneurs, the conversation flowed between their individual relationships with modesty, how they took risk to establish their own companies and how they balance owning their own business while being present mothers.
