Girlgaze Founder Talks Google Partnership and Focusing on Gen-Z
Social media maven Amanda de Cadenet started her companyy Girlgaze as a social hashtag, but soon after was able to grow it into an offline media company.
Girlgaze is a digital media company that promotes the work of female photographers and directors.
