✨💛 Washington DC Speaker Series: Pivoting to Solopreneurship - July 24, 2025
Welcome to the first event of our Washington DC Speaker Series. The event will be at the MLK Library in room 401-E.
We will be hosting a panel of women who took the leap and started their own organizations within the social impact and climate space. Given the current uncertainty in the DC job market, we wanted to highlight how these women embraced the unknown and identified opportunities to venture out on their own. Our panelists include:
Michele Joseph: President of Next Generation Inc; CEO of the Student Global Ambassador Program (SGAP)
Heather Masson-Forsythe: Co-founder of Communitique
Grace Tran: Founder of Athena Insight Consulting
Ambica Prakash: Founder and Principal of Eighty2degrees
Full biographies for the speakers can be found here
