Beckham was joined today by Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive as she
revealed what it means to her to be included in this list.
“This means an enormous amount to me,” Beckham, 41, said on “Good Morning America” today. “I love to support and empower women and that’s the message tonight. What Cindi [Leive] and Glamour are doing, just showing exactly what’s possible if we stick together and support each other. It means an enormous amount.
Glamour mentions not only Beckham’s achievements in fashion design but
also her commitment to paying it forward as an International Goodwill
Ambassador the United Nations’ AIDS (UNAIDS) program.
“You know it’s huge,” she said. “When UNAIDS invited me to be a UNAIDS
Global Goodwill Ambassador it was a huge honor and something that meant
an enormous amount to me. This is something I’m very passionate about.
I’m spending a lot of time in Africa working very closely with the UN,
speaking on behalf of the incredible women that I’m working with and it
took me getting to 40 years old to realize I have a powerful voice.
“People will listen to what I say for whatever reason, and I can really make a difference. It means a huge amount.”
Other 2015 "Women of the Year" honorees include Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Holmes, Caitlyn Jenner, Cecile Richards, Reese Witherspoon,
five women of Charleston, South Carolina, who were touched by the
Charleston shooting massacre, and the U.S. women's national soccer team
