Inspired by that experience, she became a longtime volunteer, helping other women find the confidence and support she once received. Her journey embodies a motto she has shared with our clients over the years: “Dress up, Show up, and Don’t Give Up!” Now, Nubia is taking on the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon with Team Success!

In honor of International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples, we asked Barbara, Dress for Success Global Ambassador from Dress for Success NSW & ACT (New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory), one question: What is the most important thing you wish more people understood about Indigenous cultures, communities, or histories? Let's honor the cultures, knowledge, and resilience of Indigenous Peoples and reaffirm our commitment to a future where every woman can thrive. #InternationalDayOfTheWorldsIndigenousPeoples

Honoring Indigenous Peoples is an ongoing commitment to learning, listening, and taking meaningful action. Whether it's understanding the history of the land we live on or amplifying Indigenous voices, every step helps build greater awareness, respect, and connection, like the Ojibwe spiritual leader and activist Art Solomon, reminded us. The Ojibwe are one of the largest Indigenous peoples in North America.
