Seagram’s Escapes Showcases Female Entrepreneurs in Panel Discussion Series

Seagram’s Escapes recently announced a series of upcoming virtual panels as part of its female-driven Empowerment Tour. The event, in partnership with Rolling Out, an African-American-owned media company, will showcase and celebrate women who have blossomed in their respective fields and are invited to discuss their professional experiences. The first panel in the event is scheduled to go live March 26, 2021, at 7 p.m ET.  Each panelist is a trailblazer in her respective industry in a groundbreaking way and they will collectively discuss how they have flourished in their professional lives.

“This is a tough time to be in business in general, and we know COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Black-owned businesses,” said Lisa Texido, Seagram’s Escapes brand manager. “It’s important that Seagram’s Escapes and our partners use our platforms to help these incredible businesses during this tough time, and we are honored to do our part.”

Each panel features four inspiring women who have gone above and beyond in their lines of work. For the inaugural panel on Friday, March 26^th starting at 7pm ET, Africa Miranda will moderate, while Cynthia Bailey (Seagram’s Escapes brand ambassador), Khadeen Ellis, (actress and influencer) and Monique Rodriguez, (CEO of Mielle Organics) will participate in the panel. Panelists will discuss how they paved their own paths to success, as well as how they thrive in their respective industries. The schedule following the first panel runs as follows, with monthly events a broad virtual audience can look forward to:

• Saturday, April 24, 7 p.m. – RIDE Conference: Business & Entrepreneurship
• Saturday, May 29, 7 p.m. – Design & Dialogue: Chefs and Mixologist Edition
• Saturday, June 26, 7 p.m. – Star Studio: Roast & Toast – Comedians Edition

“I’m really looking forward to the panel. I think it’s imperative for women to share their secrets to success with other women,” says Miranda, of this year’s tour. “We need to uplift and inspire each other now more than ever. And we’re doing just that with this panel.”
