The Conversation We are Missing: Leaning into Transculturalism to Break Systemic Barriers

In a time when DEI efforts are facing increased questions, this session presents an intimate, on-stage conversation with 3 Latine impact sector leaders. Learn from them about how they are leveraging the strengths that come from having an intersectionality perspective by fostering solidarity across communities and sectors. By focusing on transculturalism and intersectional identities, this session will explore how embracing these identities can drive entrepreneurial investment and impact success.

Attendees will experience a session that goes beyond traditional DEI discussions, offering a nuanced conversation on the complexities of identity and its impact on entrepreneurship. Discover how transcultural and intersectional perspectives can reshape funding, programming, and media for diverse founders and investors, and learn how leading with a unique identity can unlock new opportunities and drive transformative change. This session will feature personal stories and lived experiences, highlighting the importance of hybrid identities in navigating and overcoming systemic barriers.
