What better way to honor Women's Equality Day than to reflect on all the ways you have courageously shown up for yourself and those around you? To be a woman within itself is to be gutsy, but today we invite you to celebrate yourself and all the women around you who inspire you to be bold, fearless, and courageous. Gather your friends/family and take an unforgettable journey with Hillary and Chelsea Clinton as they chat with some of the world’s boldest and bravest women including LRCH Principal Nancy Rousseau and members of The Little Rock Nine. #Gutsy premieres September 9 on Apple TV+ apple.co/Gutsy
