Pioneering author Amy Tan poignantly expressed, “It’s both the rebellion and conformity that attack you with success.” Join us for a transformative workshop designed specifically for AANHPI women leaders in education in California. In this session, we will explore the unique cultural strengths that can enhance our well-being and professional success. Statistics reveal a challenging landscape. Despite comprising 15% of California’s population, AANHPI women are significantly underrepresented in educational leadership. Only 1% of school superintendents, 2% of school principals, 4% of college presidents in the state are AANHPI. Imagine what those shocking statistics would be if we factored in gender. It’s time for us to band together, harness our collective power, and thrive as a culture.

Through interactive discussions and practical wellness strategies, we will delve into the rich tapestry of our heritage, embracing the authentic joy that comes from our shared experiences and cultural practices. This workshop aims to create a supportive community where we can uplift one another, share resources, and develop effective wellness strategies that resonate with our shared cultural values.
