Join us for a powerful virtual fireside chat featuring authors Ingrid Hu Dahl and Katie Gee Salisbury, as part of The Authentic Asian speaker series—a space to connect, reflect, and celebrate the many dimensions of Asian identity and leadership.

​Ingrid, author of Sun Shining on Morning Snow, weaves memoir with music, mother-daughter tensions, and grief, exploring what it means to grow up mixed, queer, and bold in America. Katie, author of Not Your China Doll: The Wild and Shimmering Life of Anna May Wong, brings to life the legacy of Hollywood’s first Asian American movie star, while offering a sharp lens on race, representation, and reclaiming history.

​Together, they’ll reflect on their experiences as mixed Asian (Hapa) women, what compelled them to write their books, and how their personal stories fuel broader conversations on identity, authenticity, and leadership. They’ll also share their hopes for attendees—especially women leaders—seeking deeper connection and visibility in their own lives and work.

​Expect an intimate, honest, and energizing conversation—with key takeaways for living boldly and embracing your full story.

​📚 Books will be linked for purchase during the event.
