NAFFAA CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S MONTH BUILDING BRIDGES AMONG WOMEN LEADERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND THE MOTHERLAND
Filipina American Public Officials to be Featured in Event Co-Presented by Comcast, and in partnership with SoJannelleTV
WASHINGTON, DC — On International Women's Day, NaFFAA prepares to celebrate Filipina elected officials at Women Building Bridges, co-presented by Comcast. The virtual event will be hosted by top Filipino newscaster and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader Karen Davila and Filipino American TV Pioneer Jannelle So-Perkins (Founder and CEO of SoJannelle.com), and will feature Filipina leaders from all over the country who will speak about their motivations and experiences as public officials. About 60% of newly elected Filipino American officials during this past election cycle have been women.
The virtual event will take place on Friday, March 12 from 7PM - 8PM ET / 4PM - 5PM PT (Saturday March 13 - 8AM Manila). The central theme of the event is “Anong ‘K’ mo?”, a Filipino saying that means, “What’s your capacity, what’s your talent, what’s your story?” Filipina leaders will share their motivations, their skills, their contributions, and their actions in civic engagement. The event is a chance for Filipina women to come together to discuss their goals and their stories, as well as a networking opportunity between trailblazers and future leaders, featuring a Kumustahan and Kuwentuhan - checking in and getting to know one another.
