Nielsen sponsored the Chicago Foundation for Women’s 26th Annual Luncheon earlier this week. The theme for this year’s luncheon was “Inspired by the Future.” Emmy and Imagen award-winning actress, America Ferrera (center), gave the keynote address. Ferrera spoke about her love for acting and how her portrayals of Latina women have touched audiences over the years. Ferrera is a strong advocate for empowering young women and girls worldwide.
