Lindsay Peoples Wagner, Editor-in-Chief of New York Magazine's The Cut and former Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue talks with Boston Public Library President David Leonard for a conversation presented in partnership with the Kirstein Business Library and Innovation Center of the Boston Public Library. In this time of crisis and social upheaval, some see an opportunity to start over and collectively build something new and better, whether it be about Black Lives Matter, climate change, #MeToo or human rights. According to Lindsay Peoples Wagner, it has to be younger people who drive lasting change because they are the ones most affected. “Young people—especially young people of color— are starting a revolution and saying that things aren’t good enough. We’re refusing to accept what older people are willing to give us because it’s unacceptable," she said. The only Black female editor-in-chief in the United States and a 2020 Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, Lindsay Peoples Wagner shares an invaluable view of women’s empowerment, marketing to GenZ, elevating your brand in the era of Black Lives Matter, hiring for diversity, and running a multi-million dollar brand with an editorial mission to view everything through the lens of inclusivity.     ## Links to more information Wagners's book recommendation: ["Dirty Diversty—A Practical Guide to Foster an Equitable and Inclusive Workplace for All"](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53928550-dirty-diversity) by [Janice Gassam Asare](https://www.forbes.com/sites/janicegassam/) .
