Other women.’ So, if you are ever in a position of power to hire someone or recommend someone, recommend the woman, hire the woman on their merit, because nobody else is going to do it. Unknown to me, Lauren was in the audience, she later told me, and she thought, ‘I can help.’”Longoria revealed that the grant is larger than and more meaningful that any other award she could receive, giving her the chance to make meaningful impact.
“It allows us to continue to scale what we’ve been doing at the foundation with STEM education for girls, microloans and an infrastructure of opportunity. It’s the most important work I can do,” she said. Longoria was the recipient of the Bezos Courage and Civility Award in March of this year.
