Description

Join us for an afternoon of conversation with Chinwe Esimai, author of Brilliance Beyond Borders. Society for Africans in Diaspora (SAiD) Institute presents: A Conversation with Chinwe Esimai, and a discussion of her new book, Brilliance Beyond Borders: Remarkable Women Leaders Share the Power of Immigrace. While immigrant women continue to make great strides in the United States workplace, the truth is that millions have not discovered their fullest potential. This is something that Chinwe Esimai hopes to change, by shining a spotlight on the crucial roles of first- and second-generation immigrant women in America. As a multiple award-winning lawyer, speaker, and the first chief anti-bribery officer in the history of Citigroup, Esimai understands the obstacles—ranging from cultural barriers to racism and gender gaps—that face many of today’s immigrant women. Based on Esimai’s personal experience, and the stories of seventeen trailblazing women from around the world who have succeeded in sports, music, medicine, fashion, broadcasting, and law, Brilliance Beyond Borders explores the indispensable traits that make the difference between immigrants who live as mere shadows of their truest selves and those who build incredible, world-changing, and mind-blowing legacies. Join us for this highly impactful conversation!
