Meet Women United member and filmmaker, Loren Micalizio, our next Women’s History Month highlight! Storytelling and connection have always been at the heart of Micalizio’s work, from her career in production at Adobe, to creating her own feature films, and volunteer production support for non-profit organizations. The women in Micalizio's life have inspired and informed her work throughout the years, especially her grandmother who came from very little and was able to build a successful dance studio at home in Southern California. Her advice to the next generation of female leaders? “Keep going. Have the confidence to shift and grow and evolve.” Learn more about Women United here: https://bit.ly/3VeddZq
