[CHEERING]
- Welcome to the 2020 Makers Conference.
[CHEERING] 1, 2, 3.
- I have been looking forward to this moment.
- I'm charged up.
I'm ready to take on the world.
- Get ready, everybody.
Up out of your seats.
Here it goes.
We are running the country.
Girls rule the world.
- I'm so happy.
You know how fun it is to make out with girls?
It's amazing.
- Cry like a baby.
- Fight like a girl.
- Change the world like a woman.
- That's it?
That's all you got?
- I'm telling you he's good.
[LAUGHTER]
- Together live at Makers, yeah.
- (SINGING) We're going to love for my sister.
- (SINGING) My sister.
- Love like there's no tomorrow.
- The job for all of us, in this room and outside of it,
is to stay angry, perhaps for a very long time.
- We are in a unique historical moment where we can do this.
- Stop worrying about the shoulds and say,
we're going to do everything we can every day.
- It's nice to have a movie made about a real-life superhero.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
- We always talk about Makers being something
that pushes the envelope.
- We forget that we are connected to every other being
that lives here with us.
And that comes with a responsibility to speak up.
- This is still such a battle.
So no, you know, that's not OK.
So for me, no, we're not done.
We're not done.
- How could I, as a leader, as a colleague, as a mother,
make a difference in our shared goal of equality?
- I just had this burning.
I needed creative work.
I had to find it.
- For so long, I have even felt that it was about being
a part of a boys' club.
And now it's about being a part of a girls' club proudly
and feeling power in that.
- I feel like girls think that, I'm a girl, so I can't do it.
But I want them to think that I'm a girl, so I can do it.
- Life has taken a beautiful turn.
I'm unapologetic of my existence.
- An inclusive culture accepts that it is not this or that.
It is this and that.
- It will be all more beautiful when beauty is no competition.
- This is also the perfect time to remind
you all that we are not done.
- This is about saying, we have to take the barriers down.
- Talent and capability is everywhere.
It only needs an opportunity.
- I will do what I need to do to make
sure I widen the path for those that will come after me.
- To inspire actions that eliminate bias
and achieve equality.
- Creating racial equity is what we all have to be about.
CHRISTY PAMBIANCHI: I'm Christy Pambianchi,
and I'm the chief human resource officer from Verizon.
SHAREKA NELSON: I'm Shareka Nelson,
head of diversity, equity, and inclusion with Mailchimp.
- I'm Katie [INAUDIBLE],, and I lead diversity
and inclusion for Adobe.
- So our pledge today is to achieve gender parity
at our leadership levels.
- We pledge to increase our spend
with women-owned businesses.
- Triple paid parental leave for all new parents.
- An intentional accelerated path towards leadership roles
at PayPal for women and ethnically diverse top talent.
And we are not close to done.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
- What year will we have a woman president?
- Soon.
Needs to happen.
[LAUGHTER]
- The final chapter is yet to be written,
and it is ours to write.
- That's what I [INAUDIBLE].
And that's who I want to speak to.
- We're right behind you in hoping to change the system.
You lead the way.
- Thank you.
- I am not even close to done.
Now go out in the world and make some change.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
