It is often said that Los Angeles, much like New York, is the kind of town where, if a working professional can “make it here,” they can “make it anywhere”. But for so many of us, visualizing our career goals is the easy part. Figuring out how to map out and actually achieve our dream, however, is often something else entirely. And if you’re a woman, you often find yourself confronted with the reality of additional obstacles in your career path which your male counterparts may not even be aware exist. This is why it is so inspiring to learn that events like the Dress for Success Empowerment Breakfast, held on Thursday, June 13th at the Taglyan Cultural Complex in Hollywood, exist.
