In the Pocket Podcast Episode: Pinay Powerhouse: The Sisterhood We Never Knew We Needed

Recorded in-person during the 2022 NAPABA convention in Las Vegas, this conversation with all five Pinay Powerhouse founders reminds us that love is both work and revelation.  During our interview, these amazing women discussed their experiences cultivating community and providing sisterhood for Pinays in the legal profession–all while strengthening and enriching the bonds that were first rooted during college days and FBANC service.

Wanna learn more about our roots and feel All the feels? Check out this authentically beautiful and captivating podcast interview by June Casalmir of @pinaypockets with our @pinaypowerhouse founders and #sistersinlaw @startspeaks @thewholelifelawyer @maribandoma @msmaridani @princesqlgd @j3nnsta @candelariapclaw @vcandelaria08

What happens in Vegas…is too wonderful to stay there and ends up as a podcast episode! We had the best time with the @pinaypowerhouse founders–Christine, Mari, Jenn, Lorna & Vanessa–talking about their individual and collective lived experience in starting a community that has served as a place of inspiration and belonging for Pinay sisters in law. You’ll love the warmth and joy in this conversation, one that continues to fill us with gratitude each time we listen. Many thanks to the founders as well as all of the amazing conference organizers, book publishers, Circle facilitators, and countless others in the larger Pinay Powerhouse community for continuing to lift up this movement!
