🌎 Yorkseed at the United Nations — Handshake Summit & Leadership Gala
This past week, our founder Jessica Sophia Wong spoke during UN CSW70 at the Church Center of the in New York, joining global leaders, operators, and organizations working at the intersection of policy, technology, and opportunity.
The conversations went beyond leadership. They centered on power.
Who has it.
Who is building it.
And how systems, institutions, and emerging technologies like AI continue to shape access to opportunity.
A clear reminder from the room:
Progress is never given. It is built, challenged, and earned.
As the world navigates shifting dynamics across politics, economics, and technology, one thing became increasingly clear:
In a fragmented world, relationship capital matters more than ever.
When the right people meet with intention, conversations turn into partnerships. And partnerships shape ecosystems.
But access to those rooms is still uneven.
And that is where real work begins.
This is exactly what is built on.
Not scale for the sake of scale, but alignment.
Not noise, but signal.
Not transactions, but long-term relationships that move across borders.
Grateful to contribute to conversations grounded in both global systems and human connection.
