About the Summit

This year's Summit will feature workshops and presentations throughout the day, the Summit Fair from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm, and a keynote speaker.
This year's keynote is Lola Adeyemo.
“Navigating Intersectionality: From Individual Experience to Collective Impact”
How do our multiple identities shape the way we experience spaces and build connections? Drawing from research with over 30 immigrant women leaders and almost two decades of corporate experience and with communities across different industries, this keynote explores how understanding intersectionality can transform individual experiences into collective action. Through real stories of professionals navigating multiple identities, discover practical frameworks for moving from awareness to meaningful advocacy and support.2025 Summit
