SEGAL NYC JULY 2024 NEWSLETTER
Whether you’re leading the charge on the field or providing vital support behind the scenes, there's an undeniable thrill in being part of something greater than ourselves. What is it about belonging to a team that brings out the cheerleader in all of us?
At Segal NYC, our team isn’t limited to staff members and our goals project far beyond the bottom line. We play a small role in a global team of individuals united by a shared mission: gender equity!

This month, we’re diving into what it means to join our team, a world where helping women helps us globally. Are you ready to join the ranks?
WRITTEN BY FORMER INTERN BEATRICE ONIONS
I am lucky enough to call myself a Segal NYC intern alumni! Although, I am still virtually tapping on Jenna’s door with questions, thoughts, updates, and pink love heart emojis- often! I interned during Spring and Summer 2023, where I participated in Segal NYC’s reinvigoration of Peggy Guggenheim’s 31 Women Exhibition.
Having never had an internship and only a budding curiosity about the fine art world, I felt (at first) very insecure about my lack of knowledge. I quickly learned that I was in an environment where a lack of knowledge was the most exciting place to start learning. Now add field trips to the MOMA, a shuffling playlist of girl-boss anthems, and an open-door policy to the CEO’s office — I was home: Challenged, curious, supported, and free to ask as many questions as I liked.
I have since learned that these four pillars are what I value most. How helpful it is to learn this at 24, when I have a myriad of jobs, relationships, interviews, conflicts, and celebrations ahead of me. I know how to grow.
After my internship, I trained for one more semester at RADA (no coincidence that I finally got in after 3 years of auditioning, during my semester at Segal NYC), before graduating from NYU last December. I am now working in the world of writing and producing. Mentorship has never felt more important. But the mentorship that paves the way for female storytellers has very little to do with ‘giving back.’ People love giving back. Jenna loves giving forward.
Play-By-Play
IT HAS TO START WITH HER. Breaking laws and records alike, the women of Segal NYC projects — suffragists, award-winning musicians, ex-royal wives, and Olympic athletes, to name a few — are united by a shared drive to pave the path for progress. Stick around to get the scoop on recent success and celebrate the Moment-Umm moving forward!

Stealing The Show
Yola Mezcal scores in a league of its own, earning attention not only for its exceptional quality but also for its unwavering commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.
Yola Mezcal continues to make major plays in the world of artisanal spirits! Recently, the classic 1971 Mezcal Joven was featured on CBS Saturday Morning's "The Dish" (time stamp: 4:45) and was the leader of the pack among Latin American agave spirits.
Yola’s newest mezcal, Pechuga, was the MVP of CNN’s Editor’s Picks! Associate Editor Lindsey Smith is “absolutely obsessed” with the ultra-premium sipping mezcal. “From spicy and smoky margaritas to spiked grenadine lemonade, this handcrafted Mezcal is the perfect companion to all of my spring and summer sips. It’s even lovely to drink by itself,” she shares.
All-star music producer Benny Blanco also featured Yola Mezcal during his home tour with Architectural Digest! This award-winning, artisanal mezcal is a key player in Blanco’s impressive spirits lineup.
Yola Mezcal's recent spotlight in the public eye is a significant win for women-first leadership, showcasing the power of inclusive, ethical business practices in shaping industry standards. We are proud to team up with Yola, championing their vision for a more equitable and empowered future!
