Fiver Children's Foundation's Daphne Leroy on
mentoship, New York grit, and the belief that if you can see it, you can be it!
I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's
Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With
Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull
back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the
way.
What shapes who we become? For Daphne Leroy, it’s her Queens roots, immigrant parents, and a summer job that opened her eyes to the power of media
and marketing—laying the foundation for a career she never could have imagined growing up. A board member for the Fiver Children’s Foundation, this media executive is also a
passionate advocate for opening doors and creating pipelines for the next generation. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Daphne shares with Lisa Singer how growing up in such a diverse city
shaped her perspective to embrace different backgrounds—not to mention, giving her that New York swagger. She also talks about amplifying immigrant stories through her
project Descendants of Hope, her philosophy of “progress over perfection,” and her latest kitchen adventures. Watch the full
conversation in the video above.
