One message rose above the rest at Marie Claire’s 2025 Power Play summit in Philadelphia: Perseverance is rarely a solo act. It’s often shaped by the people who raise us, sustain us, and push us forward.

Presented by Marshalls, the Marie Claire Power Play x The Marshalls Good Stuff Social Club event drew nearly 100 women to Lilah, a bright and soaring loft that set the stage for a day of inspiring conversations spanning money, leadership, sports, and style. And while each panel tackled its own theme, again and again the discussions returned to generations, community, and the legacies women carry forward.
