When people ask me “What do you do?” I simply say, “I advance women and girls.” Here is the stuff other people read when they introduce me:

Tiffany Dufu is President of the Tory Burch Foundation, which empowers women entrepreneurs by providing access to capital, education, and community. She’s the author of the bestselling book Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less. According to foreword contributor Gloria Steinem, Drop the Ball is “important, path-breaking, intimate and brave.” Her writing has appeared in The Oprah Magazine, ESSENCE and the New York Times.
