Senior editor Maneet Ahuja, Tory Burch and Meena Harris discuss how to combat inequity in business at the 2020 Forbes Power Women's Summit.The events of 2020 have put a spotlight on the longstanding, systemic discrimination that women and people of color face in their day-to-day lives—and the business world is no exception.
“When you think about the PPP loans, six percent of women got them. Forty percent of women owned businesses,” Burch said. “So there's a bit of a discrepancy there.”During such a tumultuous time, Harris has found a silver lining: reconnection. A loss of distraction brought us back to the basics, and Harris said her peers in the industry are valuable resources.
“As a part of this moment, we are finally having tough conversations, or what may be tough for certain people that, frankly, we should have been having a long time ago,” Harris said. “I have been saying constantly through, from the beginning of the pandemic to the election, that this idea of returning back to normal is something that I reject, because normal was not working for so many people. We cannot go back to that.
