Envisioning Utopia: Cheryl McKissack Daniel Joins HSBC for International Women’s Day
A Conversation on Equity, Inclusion, and the Power of Representation
Cheryl McKissack Daniel was honored to join HSBC’s International Women’s Day 2020 celebration as a featured panelist—an evening of powerful dialogue hosted at the historic New York Public Library.
Gathering with fellow thought leaders, change-makers, and trailblazing women, Cheryl contributed to an inspiring conversation centered around the year’s global theme: #EachForEqual. The panel explored not only the importance of inclusion in leadership and business, but also the collective vision of a future where equity is no longer a goal—but a lived reality.
“I often reflect on what our world would look like if we truly reached ‘utopia’ through the full inclusion of women,” Cheryl shared. “Representation matters not just in boardrooms and job sites, but in every space where decisions are made and futures are shaped.”
As the President and CEO of McKissack & McKissack, Cheryl continues to lead with purpose, breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry while uplifting the next generation of women leaders. Her presence on this panel was a reflection of her lifelong mission: to honor the legacy she carries, challenge the status quo, and pave the way forward for others to rise.
The event was more than a celebration—it was a reaffirmation of what’s possible when women are empowered to lead, contribute, and create change.
