Elaine Welteroth has a lot to say. The former Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Cheap Adidas NMD , who had been vital in revolutionizing the magazine to be more socially conscious, is launching a book in June and she's also a new judge of Bravo's "Project Runway" reboot.In Monday in New York, she joined activist and model Cameron Russell in a conversation all about the importance of finding your voice. In partnership with The Wing, a female co-working space collective, Keds hosted the empowering event in honor of International Women's Day, which was moderated by The Wing's head of diversity and inclusion, Yari Blanco.Here, Welteroth and Russell shared words of wisdom to help empower female leaders.Use Your VoiceAfter becoming the first African-American beauty director of Teen Vogue in 2012, Welteroth took on a new role. She said, "We all have to learn how to use our voices. We all have to learn how to talk about race and gender in a sensitive and intellectual way. There are so many people who are afraid of going there, but when you become a first you are forced to go there. [You are] forced to be a barrier breaker whether you're ready or not. You bare this responsibility of speaking for an entire community and you have to learn how to do that."Be an AllyWelteroth said, "Growing up I learned from watching my brother's experience through the world [and being bullied] to be an ally and advocate for people who are 'othered' and excluded. I became passionate for fighting for the underdog. She added, "No matter what I do, I go into it [thinking], 'What does this mean for other people, how does it uplift somebody else, how can I be brave for someone else? [It's about] how I can use my platform in a way that amplifies an underrepresented group who wouldn't necessarily have the mic otherwise. That's how I moved through my whole career. When I got my seat at the table, so to speak, I came in with that spirit."Find Your Zone of Genius"When you have that moment to make a difference Cheap Adidas Ultraboost Womens , you can do what everyone has done before you, or you can figure out how to do what no one can do but you," said Welteroth. "I call that your zone of genius. I was able to hone in on my zone of genius, which was amplifying underrepresented voices from the inside, infiltrating systems, changing them from the inside, and then pulling other people in."Engage in the Gray AreaWelteroth said, "I want to engage in the gray. The way things are depicted in the media are so often black and white. I see so much room in between for conversation that is nuanced, complex and that's what I care about — whether it's popular or unpopular. I'm so gratified when I'm met with people who want to go there, too. I have a world of sisters out there and I haven't even met them." She explained, "There's a lot of division right now and choosing sides. People are not meeting in the middle to talk. The internet has become that place to do that."Practice Self-PreservationRussell, who uses her platform as a model to fight for social justice and the environment, among other issues, said, "If I'm stressed out or nervous about someone deciding to work with me, my self-care is that I remind myself that most gatekeepers actually can't really get you any[where]. And that took me long time to get there."Welteroth lights a candle before she starts anything that require focus. She said,"It's having a practice you commit to that does something to awaken you. Just put your phone down. It's as simple as that, and drink water. It's all the things your mom told you."Set Your Terms & Stick to ThemWhen Russell is asked to participate in a panel, for example Cheap Adidas Continental 80 Womens , she shares concrete language that says she won't participate if she's the only woman, and she won't speak at events where there are zero people of color. She explained, "That language was transformational and opened a door of confidence. People take you seriously and most of the time, respect you. You get to see a ripple effect of bringing people with [you]. If you're doing a feminist cover and the photographer is a white man I feel like we can do something about this. We use that opportunity of being at the table to change who is at the table."Believe In YourselfSaid Welteroth, "We need to give ourselves permission to live out more than one dream, one title, one bit of success. For anyone going through a life transition you're not alone in it, and the hardest part of being what they call a visionary is no one is going to see it expect you."Want more?Why a Lady Gaga-Like Platform Heel Will Be the Female Empowerment Pump for Fall21 Powerful Quotes About Diversity, Overcoming Stereotypes & Breaking Into FashionMisty Copeland Reacts to Fashion’s Blackface Problem & How the Industry Can Be More Diverse Luxury footwear and performance brand Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) is shifting into high gear and partnering with the British Formula 1 motor team Rokit Williams Racing.APL, which has previously had a partnership with other teams, will be supplying Rokit with footwear for racing, "to ensure that the race team can perform at their highest level,” said Claire Williams, deputy team principal of Rokit.Adam Goldston, co-founder of APL, said the collaboration reflects the company's focus on producing luxury performance gear. “Racing has become a passion for APL, and we built them a collection that elevates the optics and performance of the team,” he said.The athletic brand was founded in 2009 by twin brothers Adam and Ryan Goldston, whose aim was to create luxury footwear that performed on a professional athletic level.According to the brothers Cheap Adidas NMD Womens , growth has been organic. “We started as a direct-to-consumer business, and that’s how we built that connection with our customer. We also have a strong online business," said Ryan Goldston, adding that the brand is stocked in Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, Le Bon Marché and Lane Crawford.The products are made from luxury materials, such as merino wool, and perform to such a standard that they were banned by the NBA in 2010 for their ‘Load ‘N’ Launch’ technology. The APL shoes were the first pair to be outlawed for performance reasons. Items banned by the NBA are usually done so for aesthetic reasons.“When we got banned, that was something that forever changed our future, because it was basically the authority saying that the product was too good. So that gave us an instant boost. That unique selling proposition was really what resonated with our consumer,” said Goldston.The brothers are now putting their focus on expanding in key markets such as London and Paris. A physical retail space is also in their future.“For us, it’s about creating an experience and not about the four walls. So a retail outlet will be really important to us, and we’re not looking at just the domestic approach, we’re looking [internationally] because we believe we’re a global brand, not just a U.S. brand,” said Adam Goldston.
