Along our radical learning journey, our summit speakers from past years have included Dr. Bettina Love, Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, Princess Tirelo Motolegi, Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Dr. Cornel West, and student keynotes Priya Vulchi & Winona Guo.

At this year’s summit, we aim to advance our movement for justice and equity across the state with an all-Filipinx facilitation team, including a special east coast / west coast educator-organizer collab with Mary Joyce “MJ” Laqui and Frank Mata, as well as Rethinking Schools Executive Director, Dr. Cierra Kaler-Jones, and more special guests!

This promises to be a radically-imaginative, participant-driven, liberatory learning space. Come through ready to add your flavor, brilliance, and style. In the revolutionary Filipinx spirit, we will infuse the following values and themes throughout the experience:

ISANG BAGSAK – one fall / we fall together, we rise together

KAPWA – recognition of shared identity, an inner-self shared with others

PASALUBONG – reciprocity in the tradition of gift-giving
