Forbes 30 Under 30 2012: Ratio, Changing

Forbes published its annual 30 Under 30 package this week and we were pleased to see the trend of including and recognizing fantastic women is continuing and, dare we say, on the rise. We can all quibble with these lists (and I can think of a list of amazing women as long as my arm who were not mentioned, and I have extremely long arms) but overall it was gratifying to see so many great people included.

Name of this site notwithstanding, I’m not going to do a count because the categories are so wildly divergent and include the likes of Taylor Swift, Mary Kate & Ashley Olson and Adele, but here are a few favorites whose names we were glad to see. And who also would be fantastic brand ambassadors to Keds.
