“Gender lens and racial lens investing redefines the whole notion of diversifying your investments,” said Suzanne Lerner, President and CEO of Michael Stars. “I've elevated my approach beyond traditional methods like asset class and sector to invest in companies that are diversifying their leadership to include more women of color. As an investor and entrepreneur, I have seen that diversity of leadership is a competitive advantage. As a human being, I love that I can play a direct role in improving the lives of women and girls by supporting their businesses. We can all learn to align our values with our investments. And this panel of women will definitely inspire you to do it!”
