Stories of Transformation
I was having a second life crisis and I didn't know if I was going to make it. Attending the Hmong Women Lead conference inspired me to keep going. I am now confident that I don't need to know everything and am going to start helping the women in my family and community.

I am just a member of the community, I have no mental health background but I did want to say what an amazing job this conference did in bringing the importance of mental health to light. I loved seeing other Hmong women and hearing about what they do...

I used to believe leadership required a title or advanced degrees. Hmong Women Lead showed me that I am enough as I am. Now I speak up more at work and trust my own voice to create change.
