"What we created together was more than an event. It became a space for healing, connection, leadership, and hope."
With Deep Gratitude
Thank You to Our Community
The 2026 Hmong Women Lead Summit was made possible by the courage, care, and commitment of so many. To our speakers who shared their wisdom and vulnerability. To our facilitators who held space with such grace. To our volunteers who showed up quietly and powerfully. To our moderators who guided conversations with sensitivity and skill. To our community collaborators who believed in this work. And to every attendee who brought their full, authentic selves — thank you.
This summit was healing in action. It was courage made visible. It was community care — the kind that stays with you long after a screen turns off.

Gathering Over Coffee
This spring, Hmong Women Lead brought women together through intimate community coffee meetups focused on connection, healing, support, and authentic conversation. Across multiple states and communities, women gathered to share experiences, build relationships, and create space for meaningful dialogue outside of traditional professional settings.
