Representation isn’t just about seeing someone who looks like you in the room. It’s about having a seat at the table and the opportunity to lead.

AANHPI women are a significant part of the workforce, yet remain deeply underrepresented in executive leadership.

So, how do we move from visibility to influence?

At Re(present)ation, we’re exploring the past, present, and future of AANHPI women in leadership—and what it takes to create meaningful change.

🌱 Past. Present. Future.
✨ One conversation. A collective movement.

Join us at the 2026 AANHPI Women’s Summit: Re(present)ation on September 26.

Thank you St. Louis Public Radio and for this insightful interview about both the May 16, 2025 Tornado, our North City Community and these strong women and their dedication to caring. Thank you for screening the documentary, RED BRICK BLUE TARP, by Cami Cruz Thomas, at the Public Media Commons last night. The film reveals that North City is a regional matter and concern. It is part of our collective city. "CUT US A CHECK" is a film message that you can help and/or donate. OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates

St. Louisans describe the impact of the May 16, 2025, tornado in Cami Thomas’ short documentary film “Red Brick Blue Tarp.”
