who we are
We are a volunteer-operated, 501(c)3 non-profit organization with the mission to foster the next generation of female AAPI leaders in our community. We envision a community where competent, empowered, and abundance-oriented AAPI female leaders build solidarity with other BIPOC communities to collectively and strategically make opportunities accessible to everyone.
