Hilary Rowland: The Woman Behind Urbanette®

I en todimensionel digital verden vil jeg gøre mit bedste for at give dig en idé om, hvem jeg er.

Hej! Jeg er Hilary Rowland, personen bag al denne feministiske fabelagtighed (jk).

Som ligestillingsaktivist er mit formål at hjælpe med at uddanne og inspirere kvinder i de kritiske spørgsmål om selvværd og kvindeligt lederskab. I overensstemmelse med disse mål besluttede jeg at bruge Urbanette® overskud tilhjælpe kvinder i udviklingslande med at blive iværksættere.

Hilary Rowland: The Woman Behind Urbanette®

I en todimensionel digital verden vil jeg gøre mit bedste for at give dig en idé om, hvem jeg er.

  • Jeg lancerede første online "magasin" nogensinde back during my summer holidays in 1994. Yup, you’re looking at it 😉 Here’s a bit of bladets (og min) historie. A year later I also launched New Faces, the first ever online portfolio and job casting website.
  • Jeg ermeget happily married to my soul mate (they exist!) We got engaged in a month and married in four months. I guess when you know, you know!
  • Yes, I know a lot of Hollywood movie stars and heartthrobs (Ryan Gosling, Gerard Butler, Jim Carrey, etc.)… You’ll be able to read about that in my memoir, coming out in 2025.
  • Min mor er en pisk-smart og meget meningsfuld kunstner, forretningskvinde og rådgivningsgiver.Min far var undersøgende journalist og er nu forfatter og professor i forretningsetik og filosofisk tænkning. De gav begge deres aktivistiske og kunstneriske styrker (besættelser) videre til mig.
  • Jeg hader at spilde tid i saloner, så jeg skærer og farve mit eget hår. Det er meget nemmere end det ser ud!

  • Richard Branson has been a mentor and a constant source of inspiration. Follow hans blog her.
  • Jeg var en nørd i gymnasiet (lidt stadig), og havde svært ved at passe ind.
  • Jeg ville ønske, at verden var somLavvandede Hal, og at folks ydre repræsentationer afspejlede, hvor meget kærlighed og empati de har i sig.
  • Jeg har grønne øjne med en ring af rav, og jeg ville elske at bruge det øjenvippeforstærkende stof, men jeg er bange for, at det bliver mine øjne helt brune (og jeg indså for nylig, at ricinusolie gør det samme uden bivirkningerne!).
  • Jeg elsker dyr (det er derfor jeg er veganer) og ved at mit liv ikke ville have været det samme uden my cat. (Redning, køb ikke!)
  • Jeg har dog alt for meget tøj Jeg købte det næsten alt på eBay (min strategi lod mig score designer duds for omkring 90% rabat!) Jeg elsker en handel!
  • Jeg har været iværksætter, siden jeg var teenager, og så har jeg aldrig haft et 'rigtigt' job.
  • Min hjerne kører altid, og hvis jeg ikke havde super travlt, ville jeg nok kede mig fjollet.

En forfatter, kunstner og designer siden hun var ung nok til at sætte blyant på papir, Hilary lærte sig selv kode og skabte Urbanette, da hun var teenager. I øjeblikket bor hun i Monte Carlo, men har det sidste årti boet i NYC, betragter sig stadig som en New Yorker og besøger regelmæssigt. Hun er altid på rejse og leder efter hotte nye emner, destinationer og life hacks at bringe til Urbanette læsere.

    Can 100% confirm she was indeed a geek, or more of a nerd, rather.
    On lunch hour, you could find her working on one of the only two computers with internet in the entire school. Most people had no idea how to navigate anything at this time. She taught herself a lot.

    I dig your style so you got a follow out of me. “Soul Mate” is it a real thing? Jury still out for me on that one. You’re a vegan? I love animals too but think a lot of our life experience comes from the foods we eat, then again I’m Italian so it’s in my blood to feel that way. Anyways… I fell into your trap for better or worse ?

    Honestly, while reading several of your articles what caught my attention wasn’t your writing style, trendy topics or even your subject matter. For me, I appreciated the way you approach life and the way you see things. For instance with subjects such as feminism or the empowerment of women. Many times writers take important subjects like these to the extreme. When someone is trying to prove a point, they tend to overindulge their readers in hopes to provoke a response whether be good or bad. You seem to approach things differently by choosing to put out a positive message while still holding true to the values underneath that message. I guess one could say you stay down to earth while still being provocative enough to make people think. To pull that off you need not only life experience but that life experience must be coupled with true humility. Sadly for many those two things rarely go hand in hand. When these two qualities exist in a person it allows them to see the bigger picture and that’s a refreshing quality.

    I realize your content is geared towards women but it may be good to pepper in a male point of view on occasion. Not in a controversial way but maybe from one or two men that have a balanced and realistic view of these types of topics.

    So that’s my two cents.. take it for what it’s worth after all I’m just some guy that eats meat. ?

      I agree about the male point of view. Hilary, I realize you’ve built your brand around a strong commitment to women. Showing women they can be self-sufficient, self-confident whether in business or in life is a great message It may be true that women can do anything a man can do, but they can’t have a man’s perspective without having a man available to give it. The last industry I was involved in, they fell in love with me. The reason they loved me wasn’t because of my charming personality ? but was because I came from outside of that industry. The industry had gotten stale because every idea, every new thought and every new change came from the same industry people. I brought a new perspective forcing many of them to go outside of their comfort zone and look at things differently than once used to. It made them re-think what they thought they already knew.

      I do think it would be interesting if women could ask a man for his honest point of view about particular current hot topics for women. Getting a completely honest and candid male perspective on these matters. Of course it would have to be the right “guy”. Someone that women could respect his opinion even if they disagreed. I would imagine just the right topics /questions, just the right guy, (probably hard to find) could definitely make for some interesting reading. Just thinking out loud……

    Min far er også forfatter, men hans talent gik aldrig videre til mig. Jeg elsker at skrive, men at skrive kan ikke lide mig. Ha!

      Ha! Nobody’s life is perfect… I’ve had a lot to deal with (like cancer, for one), but I think a positive outlook makes all the difference. ❤
