A local woman went from having no job and no money to building a multimillion-dollar company. A blind woman has helped make societies more inclusive, inspiring people around the world. Be empowered at this month's BostonTalks and hear these amazing stories and more.


BostonTalks is WGBH’s smarter happy hour. It’s smarter because we feature three short talks, and it’s happy hour because the entire event takes place in a bar-like setting with lots of casual conversation.


Featured speakers:


Sara Minkara
Founder and CEO of Empowerment Through Integration
Sara founded Empowerment Through Integration in an effort to make society more inclusive for people with disabilities after she became blind at age 7.


Andrea Isabelle Lucas
Author, Founder, and CEO of Barre & Soul
Andrea is a domestic violence survivor who took charge of her life, started a successful barre-class business, wrote a book, became an advocate for self-empowered change and even shared the stage with Michelle Obama and Billie Jean King.


One more to come!
