beyond the spotlight

More details to be announce soon!

Beyond the Spotlight is a full-day experience built around a reality most Asian women live with every day: some of the most consequential work happens without title, stage time, or public credit.

‘Through keynotes, panels, workshops, and cultural programming, we name what that invisible labor actually is and what real impact looks like. When you see it in yourself, you start to see it in everyone around you.

Who this is for?

If you are the one who carries the details If you are building, leading, caregiving, mentoring, organizing If you are doing meaningful work that rarely gets named out loud If you want to be in a room that understands

You will leave with language for your impact and the confidence to own it.
