Princess Rima: The day that I will sleep so happily is when we no longer have to isolate the woman as a bracket of other. "I found peace with the fact that I can channel the femininity of my spirit and flow through change," she says. For anyone seeking to reframe the status quo, staying fluid and adaptive is so important,. Sometimes we have to bend to meet the world as it exists today, even as we work to mold it toward a better future.

Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud of Saudi Arabia has privileges that many do not: She is a member of the royal family and Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to the United States.

Recorded live at the Masters of Scale Summit in San Francisco, Princess Reema talks with host Bob Safian about how anyone can use their advantages to push the boundary of what’s possible.
