LILLY AT I RICCHI: DC LUNCHEON SPOTLIGHTS PAY EQUITY PUSH: Washington’s historic i Ricchi restaurant played host to a high-powered luncheon this week celebrating LILLY, the new film portraying Lilly Ledbetter’s fight for equal pay — and reigniting the national conversation around gender wage gaps.
The event, co-hosted by Christianne Ricchi and Gwen K. Young, CEO of the Women Business Collaborative (WBC), brought together the film’s director and producers with policy insiders, corporate leaders, and culture-makers.
“LILLY reminds us that the struggle for pay equity isn’t history — it’s happening,” said Young. “Women still earn just $0.82 for every dollar earned by men. For women of color, the gap is even wider. At this rate, full equity won’t come until 2048.”
