International Women's Day 2022

In celebration of International Women’s Day, we asked each of the women of Liverpool what inspires them, what challenges they have met in their lives and most importantly in one word, how they define themselves as a woman.

Their responses are heartfelt, honest and create a micro look at the way women today present themselves. Their portraits along with their single word definitions deliver a strong and powerful statement, and definitely give reason for celebration.

Take a careful look at each of these courageous and compassionate mothers, sisters, daughters and grandmothers. These are the Women of Liverpool.

JILL P. 
Creative Director

WE ASKED JILL

What word best describes you as a woman?
Passionate I only do things that I’m passionate about – it’s like breathing to me.

What hurdles have you had to overcome to get where you are today? 
Standing up to my father who wanted me to major in something I wasn’t passionate about. Starting a business that all my friends said wouldn’t work. Taking positions that were clearly over my head – but I was determined not to fail. 

What words of wisdom do you have for women who need encouragement?
Believe in yourself. Take risks bigger than you think you can handle, and if you don’t succeed – try again – it’s better to fail trying than to never have tried at all. 

What do you love about your role at Liverpool? 
I am fortunate to be in a position that works with all departments at Liverpool.  I love interacting with everyone and cherish the opportunity to get to know my co-workers on a deeper level. I love that my role at Liverpool is creative and works with creative thinking people. I love that my role keeps me on my feet ‘literally’ all day – I am rarely sitting in front of my computer – I’m always on the go. 

Holly A.
Executive Vice President

WE ASKED HOLLY: 

What word best describes you as a woman?
Intuitive Call it years of experience with successes and failures but I have learned to trust my inner voice.  It guides me to make good decisions, hire the right people and not to be afraid to take risks. I do a gut check and if it feels right, I go with it. 

What woman inspired you to become the woman you are?
My Grandmother, Stella, was a real estate developer from Chicago and a true fashionista. She taught me how to sew at age 7 and the love for a great fabric store. We could spend hours in the store feeling and picking fabrics, prints and trims. I so enjoyed my time spent with her creating our designs. She told me that there was nothing I couldn’t do once I set my mind to it. She was so right. Most of all I miss her story telling of the good old days and her giggles which were infectious.

What makes you most proud of yourself? 
Can I say breastfeeding?? That was the hardest but most awarding experience personally for me.  My kids Genavieve and Nicolas are my universe and I try to be a strong role model for them. I consider myself to be a fair and loyal person.  I also strongly believe in doing what you say you are going to do.  People know that they can count on me for that.  I am a “I got your back” kind of person.

What do you love about your role at Liverpool?
What I love about my role is the opportunity to bring the best out of people. The team is an amazing group of people who are all so committed and passionate about Liverpool and believe in what we are building together. I am inspired by the support and teamwork we give each other. Most importantly we challenge one another to think outside the box and brainstorm new ideas. Never be afraid to try something new and fail. There is so much to learn from that!

Heather L.
Executive Sales Assistant 

WE ASKED HEATHER:

What word best describes you as a woman?
Fearless I have never been afraid to make things happen or take chances. I’m not afraid to be open and honest or wear my heart on my sleeve.

What woman inspired you to become the woman you are? 
My mother was my biggest inspiration, even though we didn’t have much time together. She never faltered even after she was diagnosed with cancer and pushed through any hurtle that was thrown at her. She to me had one of the hardest jobs, being a special education teacher for pre-k and kindergarteners in a poor school district. While going through chemo, she always gave her students her best. She also at one point had to learn how to walk again due to a tumor that was found on her spine.  Just her courage and strength to go through that and fight cancer taught me that I could overcome anything life threw at me, even if it broke me down at the beginning.

What makes you most proud of yourself?
That no matter what life has thrown at me, I have always found a way to survive, thrive and grow. I never let the rough times take power over me and always able to pick myself back up. Growing and fighting through those times, I finally feel like I am headed into the future I deserve.

What words of wisdom do you have for women who need encouragement?
No matter what the world or life throws at you, remember that you are your number one fan and support system. Once you learn to love and trust yourself, nothing will ever stand in your way.

What woman inspired you to become the woman you are?

What words of wisdom do you have for women who need encouragement?
To switch your mindset from “I have to, to I get to”. Perspective is everything and positivity is contagious.

Veronica T.
Executive Sales Assistant

WE ASKED VERONICA:  

What word best describes you as a woman?
Helpful At home, I help my mother and brothers who have special needs. At work, whenever my co-workers need me, I try to help them out in any way I can. I always find myself helping people one way or the other wherever I go.

What woman inspired you to become the woman you are? 
When I was in my early 20's, I was working at another clothing company and my supervisor at that time, Catalina, always pushed me to learn new things. She would always tell me, "Veronica never say you can't do anything without trying and if you fail at least know that you tried your best". Her words have stuck with me ever since and everywhere I go, I challenge myself to try new things. 

What hurdles have you had to overcome to get where you are today?  
I left home at a very young age and became a teenage mother. I had to work twice as hard to get myself through school and work at the same time. I didn't have my parents support and there were many times that I only had two hours of sleep because I had to do homework and take care of my baby, who would sleep during the day and was awake during the night. However, all this sacrifice paid off because I'm proud to say that I graduated with high honors, a 4.0 GPA, and received a 2-year scholarship which put me through college. 

What words of wisdom do you have for women who need encouragement?  
Focus on the positive, think good thoughts, and be helpful. Surround yourself with people who are also positive, kind-hearted, and intelligent because these people believe in you and will encourage you to be better every day.

What makes you most proud of yourself?  
When I started my career in retail, I was a single mom, hadn’t finished my education and amid a divorce.  I remember in the early years of my career growth my focus was to make enough money for rent and feed my son.

I accepted every opportunity that came my way even when it meant moving my son to places like Alaska. 25+ years ago women didn’t really hold positions beyond Store Manager and I am proud to have been one of the first of now many women who have been able to achieve roles at the highest level of leadership. 

What words of wisdom do you have for women who need encouragement?
“Dance with the partner you brought.” We might not always like the partner we have for this dance but there is incredible strength, satisfaction, and power in learning to be with the challenges that come our way. We are way stronger than we might sometimes feel during a difficult time, but it is way more empowering to determine your own response. 

What do you love about your role at Liverpool?
I absolutely love that I work for a company that believes in being a partner with their stores well beyond the brand.

What hurdles have you had to overcome to get where you are today?
I've had to trust in my abilities even when others said the job would be too big for me, especially back in the 80's when most of the large territories were only managed by men. I interviewed for a job in the late 80's and the VP told me that I should be very proud of myself for even being considered for that position. I didn't get that position; they gave it to another guy with great experience, but they called me about a month later and offered me another position with their largest division. Things always seem to work out one way or another!

What word best describes you as a woman?
Relational The people in my life are what matter most! My clients become like family, and loyalty is something I strive to show them.

 

What makes you the most proud of yourself?
Being a female business owner is truly a source of pride for me, though seeing my children grow into kind, loving, talented little humans is the accomplishment I am MOST proud of! Hearing another mom say to me "your kid is just my favorite of my child's friends" is what sends the pride meter into overdrive. My answer has two names - Noah and Ford. Best thing I will ever accomplish in my life, and WHY I work so hard!

What hurdles have you had to overcome to get where you are today?
Anyone in this industry knows that the glamour is only surface deep. It is back breaking, dig deep, self-motivated, hard work and most don't stay in the "biz" long enough to get to the good stuff. I don't begrudge the hurdles. I am grateful for each one because they got me to the success I am so blessed to have today!

What do you love about your role at Liverpool?
I love that we are a TEAM! It feels like a tight knit family. The women have been SO warm, SO welcoming, and SO encouraging! They are bright, hardworking, kindhearted people and they have gone above and beyond to make sure that our team has everything we need to be successful!

WE ASKED KAREN:  

What word best describes you as a woman?
Wanderlust When I am traveling, especially to foreign places, I am at my most happy and soul filled. I love an adventure and love checking out new places and neighborhoods.

What makes me the most proud of myself?
My ability to be by myself whether it’s traveling overseas, domestically or just going to an event solo.  Living in NYC from college until I was 40 gave me a strong sense of independence and fearlessness. I actually prefer traveling solo, because I’m more open and approachable.  So many solo trips have ended in new forever friendships. 

What words of encouragement do I have for other women?
We can do anything we set our minds to. Be resourceful, be open, meet as many people as you can and let them know what your dreams are.  Good people want to help other good people. 

What do I love about my role at Liverpool?
I love establishing strong relationships with my buyers and becoming their partner. I love hearing how well the product is doing and hearing their enthusiasm.  I love being on the selling floor and meeting one of our customers who anxiously awaits the next delivery of Liverpool.  I love traveling to different parts of the country that I wouldn’t normally travel to and learning about their customers, culture, history and life.  I love representing a brand that is beloved and trusted!

WE ASKED HOLLY:
 
What word best describes you as a woman?
Driven I’m a highly energetic and goal-oriented woman. I stay in my ‘Go’ gear most of the time. I’m motivated and determined to succeed in my career.

What hurdles have you had to overcome to get where you are today?
I began my career in the fashion industry at 19 and it was a man’s world at that time. I had to gain the trust of many people during those early years but mainly I had to trust myself. It took hard work, faith and tenacity to establish a solid business. I just celebrated 30 years in my chosen career and as my business continues to grow, I realize I will have more hurdles to overcome. But I also know all I have to do is overcome them.

What do you love about your role at Liverpool?
To have the opportunity to work with such an incredible company, staffed by some of the best in the business is a true joy. Liverpool strives each season to be on the cutting edge of fashion, growing without jeopardizing value and quality of their product. Being a part of that growth gives me a sense of purpose and pride.

Who is your female style inspiration and why?
I meet women every single day that inspire me. Being a female business owner in today’s world is not for the faint of heart. I’ve personally witnessed women evolve in our industry and by working with them, I’ve seen firsthand how hard work and a lot of grace can make you successful.
