Two years ago we set out to research the complex, nuanced, and intergenerational story of the leadership development of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) girls and gender-expansive youth. That result is Why We Lead: Understanding and Supporting the Leadership of AANHPI Girls and Gender-Expansive Youth, the first-ever national study of AANHPI girls and gender-expansive youth.
You won’t want to miss this one-hour interactive roundtable event. Hear our panel of parents and caregivers of AANHPI girls discuss the report findings and actionable next steps. Panelists Dr. Hina Talib, Leticia Barr, and Youth Research Council member Nikita Jadhav will detail how parents and caregivers can use the report findings to advocate for AANHPI girls to reach their full potential. Neuroscientist and award-winning author, Dr. Christine Koh will moderate. Managing Director, Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Stacie Hoffmeister will open the discussion. Girls Leadership National Board member and P16 Partners founder Aditi Goel will make closing remarks. You will gain firsthand insights into what inspires AANHPI young people to lead, the barriers they face, and how parents and caregivers can support the leadership development of AANHPI girls and gender-expansive youth.
