March is Women's History Month, a time to honor and celebrate the triumphs of the trailblazing women who have paved the way for change and progress. APB continues to represent a number of speakers on women's issues, from award-winning actresses and activists to journalists, best-selling authors, entrepreneurs and innovative global leaders. Below, we have highlighted some of our most talked-about and requested female voices. Responsible for inspiring millions, these women continue to empower audiences worldwide:

They’re 60 million strong—a cohort larger than the Boomers or Millennials. Shaped by the Great Recession. The first digital-first generation. And they’ve only begun to flex their muscles as consumers, employees and customers. Generation Z (born between 1996-2011) already represents up to $143 billion in buying power. They’re like no generation before and notably different from Millennials (born 1980-1995). From fashion to social consciousness to the workplace, this lineup of speakers captures a powerful new generation, speaking about—and to—Generation Z. 

These best-selling speakers bring bold insights on performance, leadership and staying ahead in a constantly changing world. Bring them to your next event while their books are on the top of everyone’s must-read lists.

Exhale Lifestyle, a magazine for busy women, is going to be featuring speaker, security expert, working mom and entrepreneur, Juliette Kayyem on the cover of their March issue. According to Exhale, “Security maven Juliette Kayyem chauffeurs safe rides for kids while running her own company, commands attention in a Harvard grad school amphitheater and still makes time to walk her dog.” 

After a five-year stint at Yahoo Finance, longtime (2000-2013) New York Times tech columnist and APB speaker David Pogue is back home at the Times. His new column, “Crowdwise,” which appears in the paper’s “Smarter Living” section, asks readers for their wisdom in tackling life’s eternal problems—for example, how to recover from a bad “Reply All,” what to say to someone in mourning that won’t just make it worse, and how to travel on planes or trains with cranky toddlers. Pogue has also resumed contributing his trademark, witty how-to tech pieces to the Times. the

In three short years, Sophia has seen many firsts. She is the first non-human to address the U.N., gain citizenship and grace the covers of Cosmopolitan and Elle. She has gone on a date with Will Smith, sung a duet with Jimmy Fallon and wowed speaking audiences from Indiana to Pamplona, Spain.

In his State of the Union Address, Trump neglected to speak on the topic of education. Louis Freedberg, from EdSource said, “Trump has had no success in advancing that agenda during his first two years in the White House.” 

Known for making history in 2006 for defeating a 26-year incumbent State Representative, Bakari Sellers is the youngest member of the South Carolina state legislature and the youngest African American elected official in the nation. Sellers' documentary, While I Breath, I Hope, examines what it means to be young, black and a democrat in the American South.

Emmy-winning TV host and APB speaker, Clinton Kelly is set to join Nancy Fuller, Duff Goldman and Lorraine Pascale as co-host of Spring Baking Championship on The Food Network, premiering March 18th. Best known for seven seasons as host of The Chew, Kelly is also widely regarded for his decade co-hosting What Not to Wear.

Written by APB Exclusive Speaker, Samantha Harris: I know, I know – “keep your heart healthy” seems to be a constant headline, especially during Heart Health Month. We all understand this by now. That said, how exactly to do it the right way seems to always have conflicting information circulating.
