About this event
At IFW, we do not stand for racism, hate, or intolerance. We’ve built a community of diverse women founders and we know our AAPI community is hurting right now. We see you and we hear you; we’ve always seen open dialogue as a way forward. Our Founder Support Circles are safe spaces in which to be vulnerable and get support from our community.
Join IFWOC Creator & GM, Olivia Owens, Yie Foong, LCSW and psychotherapist, and Anna Marie Cruz, Founder of Entrepinayship, as we hold space for AAPI entrepreneurs & their allies.
