in honor of international women’s day, we thought we would share some advice + words to live by + empowering anecdotes from our female founders we’ve featured in the fill over the last year.  while these incredible women come from diverse backgrounds (from a young woman who started a company in her parents basement, to a former head of global banking turned female founder, to a household name in the fashion industry), they all have one thing in common – they’ve built companies and communities in an age where women are still paid 21% less than men. 

as female founders in NYC, we continue to be inspired by the energy, support + community that women bring to each other – without women supporting women, blankbox wouldn’t exist and it definitely wouldn’t be as fun. happy international women’s day!
