WHAT: W San Francisco announces the launch of WHAT SHE SAID, a series that highlights female leaders from the worlds of fashion, music, design, tech and more. This innovative series is a platform for women to reach the next generation of powerful female leaders. It evolved from W San Francisco’s “W Inspire” series, which began in 2013, and has featured dynamic conversations with the Bay Area’s most influential women, including Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff, Wells Fargo Senior Vice President Brenda Wright, San Francisco Giants’ Public Address Announcer Renel Brooks-Moon, and more. Adapted globally, W Inspire has brought power talk, W style, to hotels around the world and W San Francisco is pleased to re-introduce it as WHAT SHE SAID on May 19.
