2023 Luncheon Speaker & Woman of Distinction
|
Helen Wan is a graduate of Amherst College and the University of Virginia School of Law. She is an author and an attorney. She writes, speaks, and consults on diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging, especially relating to women and minorities on the career ladder, and the complicated pursuit of success.
Her novel, The Partner Track, is about a young woman of color navigating the alien culture at a powerful law firm, was a Book Club selection of Real Simple and the National Association of Women Lawyers and became the subject of a Washington Post cover story on glass ceilings. Her book is decidedly fiction, but it was very important to her to write as realistic, authentic, and unvarnished a portrayal of corporate life as possible-as experienced by a young woman of color trying to figure it all out. She has written for the Washington Post, CNN, The Daily Beast, and The Huffington Post. Helen truly believes that "[w]riting's a labor of love." |
