Women took center stage at the Dallas Museum of Art for the Women in the World live event series. Co-hosted by Toyota and journalist Tina Brown, the Dec. 4 event inspired guests with talks ranging from female empowerment to the popular hashtag #MeToo. The lineup of speakers included Dallas’ first female chief U. Renee Hall; Amy McGrath, the first female marine to fly in an F/A-18 on a combat mission, and candidate for Kentucky Congress; and Jen Welter, the first female to coach in the NFL. The event also honored Maxeme Tuchman as the newest recipient of Toyota’s Mother of Invention award grant. Tuchman is the CEO and co-creator of the groundbreaking educational app, Caribu, which allows parents and family members to read a book with their children or loved ones remotely through video chat.
