You've built such a community of role models with Female Founders Collective. What do you look for in the women who are part of the FFC?
"I want to celebrate inspiring females who have dedicated themselves to making a difference. Women who are leading fearless lives, which doesn't mean you don't have fear. It means that, as you look fear head on, shaking in your boots, you do what's scaring you anyways. And sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose. But really, it's only losing if you're too scared to try, and it's only failing if you give up — otherwise, it's experience, That's why I started this group . . . to share and exchange ideas because, I wanted to create an atmosphere that would remind us, and provoke us, to stay fearless."
Tell us more about this collaboration? And where can we shop the PYDY Tee?
"We knew we wanted to be able to bring this project to life and decided to create a limited-edition PYDY t-shirt that is now available online at RebeccaMinkoff.com and Popsugar.com, with net proceeds going toward Okamoto's non-profit organization PERIOD."
