Latina Leadership Unfiltered: Strength, Culture and Systemic Truth

Cultural identity is a powerful strength within the Latine diaspora. While bilingualism and biculturalism can foster creativity, connection, and belonging, they also come with challenges — including stress, discrimination and pressure to code-switch.

Join us for a compelling conversation on Latina leadership — its strengths, its challenges, and its future. Hear from Latina leaders across sectors as they share their journeys, reflect on systemic barriers and supports, and explore how cultural identity has shaped their paths to success.
