Analilia Mejia, a leader in the progressive movement, will join the conversation, exploring activism's outcomes and strategies for future efforts. Moderated by award-winning journalist Anjali Kamat, this panel will delve into the storytelling's role in revolutionary change, providing insights into the challenges and potential of social movements.
