ASPIRE’s 15th Speaker Series event will feature a panel of inspiring, local Asian American women who are engaged in their communities as political and social justice activists. Come hear about their involvement in grassroots organizations and movements, participate in a candid dialogue about activism from an Asian American female perspective, and be empowered!

The ASPIRE Speaker Series, a free lecture series, explores topics impacting Asian American girls and women, and gives exposure to Asian American women leaders. It promotes candid conversations, encourages networking, and fosters mentoring relationships among Asian American women. Since September 2010, ASPIRE has held fourteen Speaker Series panels on such topics as women in politics, entrepreneurship, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields, mental health, work/life balance, performing arts, and public sector. The Speaker Series is catered toward Asian American women who are high school students, college students, graduate students, and working professionals.
