Redefining Success as Asians and Asian-Americans
Date and time
Join us for a hybrid event to hear stories of Asians and Asian-Americans that redefined the traditional type of 'success' in their cultures.
About this event
What was success for you growing up? How have you had to redefine this throughout your own life?
Join us in person or virtually on May 19th for a conversation with Asian and Asian-American creative and entrepreneurial leaders as they talk about:
- their path(s) to defining their own successes

- and everything in between!
We'll see you there!

Anjali Bhargava
Founder and CEO of Anjali’s Cup
Anjali is deeply influenced by their Indian heritage; their relationship to food, wellness, and the art of well-balanced ingredients is infused with the traditions, philosophy, and practice of my family’s culture. Their reverence for turmeric began as a child watching their mother use the magical golden powder in almost everything, and so Anjali's Cup began.
Through each tea in their product line, Anjali is able to honor and share their culture with their customers.
