At a launch event yesterday evening in Los Angeles dubbed ‘The Future She Built,’ executives from Capitol Music Group, SAG-AFTRA, the LA Sparks, and the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative convened to discuss gender issues in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements.

Select Impact will continue to host fireside chats and mixers in order to connect thought leaders across various causes, and also spearhead influencer-led charity campaigns. According to its website
