It started with two friends on a walk in Central Park…
…the movement began from our personal experiences in the finance, healthcare, consulting, and tech industries between two co-founders, Shirley and Esther - friends and alma maters of Wellesley College.
We realized we weren't alone in dealing with mental health and leadership development challenges as women in the corporate world and sought to open up these conversations in our free time through podcast hosting which expanded to in-person mentorship events. Today, we’ve widened our audience and partnerships beyond women.
Shirley Lei is an ex-tech product manager who consults Fortune 500 companies on new business building and digital transformations. She is dedicated in empowering women's leadership and fostering diverse entrepreneurial endeavors.
Esther Luo is a healthcare private equity investor and ex-investment banker. Esther is passionate about channeling her financial expertise toward companies that champion mental health and embrace the ESG responsibilities.
… from sharing our “kitchen table” conversations withe the world, we expanded to speaking with schools and organizations to expand our reach…
