Summary
In honor of International Women's Day, we are proud to share the recently recorded "Empowered Women Panel" from the 2021 Shine Conference – an annual gathering of Noonday Collection Ambassadors (female social entrepreneurs) led by Jessica and her team.
The women on this panel, gifted entrepreneurs from Kenya, India, Guatemala, and Ethiopia, will share how being Noonday’s Artisan Business Partners has propelled them to go against the grain in order to lift up marginalized women and girls within their own communities.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Going Scared Podcast. This is your host, Jessica |
| 0:04.7 | Honegger, founder of the Social Impact Fashion brand, Noon Day Collection. Join me here every |
| 0:10.5 | week for conversations on living lives' purpose by leaving comfort and going scared. |
| 0:17.8 | All right, this week we are serving up a very special episode for you. Today's episode |
| 0:24.4 | honors International Women's Day and we are going to feature a conversation with some |
| 0:30.7 | women that are very close to my heart. As many of you guys know, I founded the brand Noon Day Collection |
