"From scientists to influential community leaders, these trailblazing women will gather to share their stories of triumph and resilience, inspiring countless others in the thriving Punjabi community to carve their own paths to success.

"I urge everybody to encourage their partners, sisters, mothers and friends to attend this forum and get leads towards their goals," she says.
