IT'S THE NEW
and we're louder than ever
LISTEN UP
The 2020’s came in with a roar, and our response was to roar back with renewed tenacity.
New ways of flexing, connecting and barrier-breaking as women.
You’ve seen us. Now you’ll hear us.
Because doing what they say couldn’t be done is what we do best.
Representation matters, a truth Xerox has always embraced.
When we see and hear other women roar with revival, it inspires our peers to dream big and believe they can do the same.
HEARING IS
BELIEVING
