WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon recently spoke with Ayesha Tabassum of Indian Express Indulge to promote International Women’s Day, which is celebrated today. Stephanie was asked what her message to women is, and where she thinks this need to awaken women comes from.
“I believe in fighting for what’s right and fighting for equality,” she said. “I have had many opportunities in my life, I have also had lot of challenges, because of my gender. This shouldn’t be a barrier to anything you want to accomplish. I have three daughters; I am fighting for them and for women all over the world. We should be able to do what we want to do, as long as we work hard like everyone else in the room, never give up and fight for what we believe in.
