Apple Celebrates International Women’s Day with a Special Today at Apple Series, Editorial Collections on the Apple TV App, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books, Features on the App Store, and an Apple Watch Activity Challenge
In March, a special Today at Apple series “She Creates” will offer opportunities to learn from women using creativity to illuminate big topics and empower others. Artist Aurélia Durand, who created the collection artwork, will host an Art Lab using iPad at Apple Champs-Élysées on March 7.
Throughout March, Apple Stores worldwide will host a series of over 5,000 Today at Apple sessions titled “She Creates” to highlight inspiring female creators using photography, design, technology, business, music and film to address tough topics, explore new perspectives and empower their communities.
Select stores will host more than 100 sessions led by women across industries and mediums who are empowering those around them through creativity, including co-chair of the Women’s March Linda Sarsour, musicians Meghan Trainor and Victoria Monét, designer Carla Fernández, and many more.
“Celebrating the work, spirit and contributions of women is so important to Apple,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “We’re thrilled to recognize International Women’s Day through the ‘She Creates’ programming series and bring these experiences to our stores so everyone can be inspired by some of the world’s most passionate and innovative creators.”
