In celebration of the exhibition of Barbie™: A Cultural Icon, join the VMHC as we explore the multifaceted identities that Barbie® has embodied and popularized since her debut in 1959 and consider how women can use their voices, careers, and civic engagement to shape their communities and create new paths for those who follow.
Moderated by Dr. Sandra J. Peart, Dean of the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond, panelists include:
Carly Fiorina serves as the CEO of Colonial Williamsburg, the first woman to hold that position in the institution's 100-year history. She is also the Principal Executive of VA250, Virginia's American Revolution commemorative commission, and former Chair and CEO of Hewlett-Packard, becoming the first woman to lead a Fortune 50 company.
Virginia Lieutenant Governor Ghazala Hashmi is the first Muslim woman to be elected statewide in the nation, as well as the first South Asian American elected to statewide office in Virginia.
Capt. Janet Days serves as Director of Economic Development for the City of Suffolk and is the former Commanding Officer of Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval installation, where she was the first African American to serve in this capacity in the installation's 108-year history.
