Real talk. Raw truths. Remarkable stories.

Join us for the second Future Female Leaders community event of 2025: You Can’t Ask That - a bold evening dedicated to smashing stigma and deepening understanding through raw, unfiltered, honest conversation with a gender equity lens.

At You Can’t Ask That, we’re bringing together a panel of diverse and courageous leaders who are ready to answer the uncomfortable questions we often think… but rarely say out loud.

From gender and race to disability, identity, and privilege - nothing is off the table. No fluff. Just the real stuff.

This isn’t a normal panel discussion. It’s a chance to challenge perspectives, spark meaningful dialogue, and explore what it really means to lead, live, and show up in a diverse and complex world.
