SUMMARY:Like a Wave We Break: A Fireside Chat with Jane Chen
DESCRIPTION:Join Like a Wave We Break: A Fireside Chat with Jane Chen moderated by Karen Choi. In her best-selling memoir\, Like a Wave We Break\, Jane chronicles the rise of Embrace Global—the company she co-founded that has helped save over one million babies. When the organization nearly collapsed after a decade\, she was forced to confront how growing up amid domestic violence had shaped both her deep commitment to serving the most vulnerable—and the burnout and personal breakdown that followed. \nTaking place during Mental Health Awareness Month and AANHPI Heritage Month\, the discussion will explore themes of mental health and cultural stigma often experienced within the AANHPI community\, resilience\, preventing burnout\, and what it means to rebuild after breaking. We hope you’ll join us for an honest and meaningful dialogue rooted in reflection\, healing\, and collective strength. \nTickets \nFree – General Admission; \n$50 – General Admission + Signed Book + Donation to Womankind

SUMMARY:Womankind's 12th Annual Anti-Human Trafficking Conference
DESCRIPTION:Deconstructing the Gender Paradigm: Supporting Male Survivors in AAPI Communities \nWomankind’s 2025 Anti-Human Trafficking Conference aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how gender dynamics affect survivors of labor trafficking in Asian American and Asian immigrant communities. In doing so\, we hope to ultimately strengthen more inclusive and effective support systems. Panelists will analyze the gender paradigm\, which includes traditional beliefs and norms related to gender roles and identities\, and explore how society shapes and enforces these expectations. Additionally\, they will offer suggestions on how to better support male survivors of labor trafficking\, while avoiding the reinforcement of these norms. \nPanel #1 \n\nWomankind\nManForward\nKings County District Attorney’s Office\n\nPanel #2 \n\nWorker Justice Center of New York\nInternational Rescue Committee/Framework\nMosaic Family Services\, Inc.
