WHAT: Celebration of Massachusetts’ newly-elected Asian American women trailblazers.

~~Mehreen N. Butt, Town Councilor - Wakefield - first Muslim American woman elected to MA town council

~~Panel moderated by: Jessica Tang, Boston Teachers Union President - first person of color & member of the LGBTQ community elected as president of BTU


Complimentary lunch from local businesses will be served.
