On the Scene at Power Women Summit 2023: From Jodie Foster’s Introduction of Diana Nyad to a Saweetie Sitdown | Photos

TheWrap’s 2023 Power Women Summit brought the theme of “Resilience” to the center of many conversations speakers, panelists and guests on Tuesday at The Maybourne Hotel.

Keynote speakers including marathon swimmer Diana Nyad, “Color Purple” actress Danielle Brooks, “Origin” director Ava DuVernay and musician Saweetie traced the common thread of this in their lives and work.

“Nyad” actress Jodie Foster introduced the record-breaking swimmer Diana Nyad, the subject of the Netflix film in which she is portrayed by Annette Bening. Foster stars as Nyad’s coach and best friend Bonnie Stoll. Former White House Aide to the Trump administration and author of new book “Enough,” Cassidy Hutchinson, took the mic next, vowing that she will do whatever it takes to prevent Trump from getting a second term as President of the United States in 2024. The day also included appearances from Saweetie, Shari Redstone, filmmaker Ava DuVeray and various executives making moves in the industry.
