Spotlight Initiative 49d ago

At Women Breaking Barriers, Jessica Sibley reflected on the women who shaped history — and the women who continue to redefine it. From growing up in Brooklyn raised by a single mother, to leading TIME, she shared a personal journey rooted in resilience, independence and ambition. She also honoured generations of trailblazers — from Bessie Smith to Oprah Winfrey and Lisa Su — whose stories opened doors for women across media, science, business and culture. These stories remind us that progress is built by those who dared to imagine beyond the barriers before them.
