A woman can have it all | Amber-Rose Badrudin | TEDxWarwick Salon
In this bold and thought-provoking talk, entrepreneur Amber Rose Badin challenges the outdated expectations placed on modern women—expectations that force them to choose between beauty and brains, career and family, likability and leadership. Sharing her personal journey from struggling startup founder to seven-figure business owner, Amber explores how societal perceptions shift when women embrace their femininity or show ambition. Drawing on real research and lived experience, she unpacks the "beauty penalty," the "double bind" in leadership, and the quiet judgments that continue to follow women into boardrooms and beyond. With clarity and conviction, she argues that being a woman is not a liability, but a superpower. This talk is a powerful reminder that women can have it all and shouldn’t have to fight so hard to prove it. Amber is a dynamic South Asian entrepreneur and multi-business owner, known for her strong presence as a content creator. Currently featured on this season of The Apprentice, Amber-Rose has become an inspiration for many, breaking barriers and leading the way for women in business. Passionate about empowering others, Amber-Rose firmly believes that "A woman can have it all"-success in both her career and personal life.
In her TEDx talk, Amber-Rose will share her journey, struggles, and triumphs, challenging societal norms and proving that with dedication, resilience, and the right mindset, women can truly achieve everything they set out to do.
