Who Gets to Have It All?
A Talk with FRIDA Founder Gemma Boon
We live in a time where women are told they can be anything. CEO. Mother. Founder. Partner. Caregiver. Financially independent. Emotionally available. Always ambitious. Always balanced.
We have more opportunities than ever before, and yet many of us feel more pressure than ever.
Around the world, conversations about women in leadership, equal pay, financial independence, and representation at the top are louder than ever. But behind the statistics lies a quieter question:
What does it actually cost to “make it”?
On March 8, International Women’s Day, FRIDA founder Gemma Boon invites you into a personal and honest reflection on women, career, money, and the pressure to perform - in a world that demands we excel on every front.
Drawing from her own journey, from museum director to burnout, from being declared fully unfit for work to building FRIDA as a social enterprise, Gemma explores what success really means, how systems shape our opportunities, and why financial conversations still feel uncomfortable for many women.
This is not a “how to become successful” talk.
It is a conversation about ambition, vulnerability, power, and redefining what the top actually looks like.
Expect storytelling, reflection, and space for dialogue- in true FRIDA spirit.
