About
L.E.A.D Filipino’s Fly Pinays Leadership Summit is a single-day conference held during Women’s History Month — and it’s all about the ladies. The event links the Silicon Valley’s Filipina professionals and college-level Pinays in shared experience and culture, leadership education and mentorship. From lessons on leadership, personal advancement and being active stewards of social justice, Fly Pinays will highlight the voices of Filipina professionals and students alike to uplift Pinayism. The Summit will include Educational Workshops led by notable Filipina leaders and community groups, feature influential guests from a variety of sectors on Speaker Panels, and Keynote Addresses on culturally-relevant issues, current events and overall — the beauties of being Filipinas today.
This year’s Summit theme “Breaking Through, By Being You” centers on leading authentically, preserving — and perpetuating — self-love, and change the game by starting in your community.
