At our inaugural Breadwinners Dinner in Los Angeles, we created a dedicated space where remarkable women stepped away from the table to share what's really on their minds.
No audience. No performance.
Just honest reflections on the questions that keep us up at night and the legacies we're building in real-time.
During these intimate confessional interviews, we explored what it means to be a Breadwinner beyond the paycheck - the trade-offs made, the systems being changed, the things we carry that we've never said out loud. On redefining breadwinning. On empowering the next generation. On the unspoken truths of working motherhood.
Most people assume confidence comes first — that you have to feel ready before you speak, certain before you step forward.
These women know differently.
Confiding takes more courage than performing. Saying the true thing, in a real room, to people who are paying attention — that is the braver act. And something shifts when you do it. The armor comes off. The story becomes yours to own rather than hide. What begins as an act of trust becomes an act of power.
Founded by Elaine Welteroth, birthFUND is a community fund on a mission to make birth joyful again - providing direct financial grants to families for midwifery care, lactation support, and postpartum resources that the system has failed to provide. In a country where half of new mothers describe their birth as traumatic and Black mothers face a four times higher risk of death, birthFUND is done waiting for insurance companies and lawmakers to fix what's broken.
The Breadwinners was built on the belief that how we bring life into the world shapes everything that comes next. birthFUND is proof of that in action.
We are honored that Elaine brought her story - and this mission - to our table. What she shared in confidence is exactly what this series was made for.
