About Sasha's session:
This session is built for the specific pattern many AAPI attorneys carry into leadership, where the professional identity constructed to earn credibility in these institutions begins to work against the very authority they've worked hard to claim. That pattern is shaped not just by the environments they navigate, but also by the cultural expectations and family inheritance they carry alongside their careers. When those two things aren't integrated, what shows up is burnout, imposter syndrome, and the kind of overthinking that doesn't respond to more information or more confidence-building. This session names that pattern structurally, which is what sets it apart from most professional development programming. People leave with something they can actually use, not just an insight that fades by the following week.
