Women's History Month Spotlight: Shea Kerr, VP Associate General Counsel

In honor of Women’s History Month, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of the amazing women who work at J.Crew Group. We are incredibly proud to be a company that is largely women-led. As part of this celebration, we're excited to spotlight Shea H. Kerr, VP General Counsel.

We asked her a few questions. Keep reading to find out what she had to say.

Q: What does the celebration of Women’s History Month mean to you?

SK: The fact that we celebrate women is a reminder of how far we have come and that we’re still going after it! We have changed the game and are on our way to turning it all the way around. We are looking out for one another with intention. We’ve created so much! Let’s keep going and extending opportunities to one another. 

Q: What type of inspiration do you hope to share to all women in your life?

SK: It’s never too late to pivot and change the entire game for yourself. To renew, remake, and reinvent yourself.  Make a good decision for yourself and then make it again the next day. We can change everything one move at a time. 

Q: “What is one piece of advice from a woman that has stuck with you over the years?”

SK: Never doubt yourself! If you’re doubting something, if it doesn’t feel right, trust that. Trust that inner voice because it’s probably spot on. It’s uncomfortable for a reason. 

Q: If you could tell a younger you one thing, what would it be?

SK: Keep going! As it is in nature, so it is with life. Nothing is ever wasted. Everything you’re going through - all of it (yes, even the challenges) will all be useful to you later.

Stay tuned and follow along for more advice and inspiration from women in our business.
