Samara Bay ’02: “Permission to Speak”
Join the Princeton Women’s Network (PWN) virtually to hear Samara Bay ’02 speak about finding your voice and her book Permission to Speak on Monday, May 13, 8 – 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
Is it possible to enjoy public speaking? To love your voice and trust you’ll get heard? Can you really show ALL the way up with your gorgeous ideas and your gorgeous heart?
Samara offers best-of takeaways from her much-anticipated debut big idea book with Penguin Random House, a personal and cultural reckoning with what speaking in public is and what it can be.
Our voices tell a story about power, and this keynote offers wildly practical tips, moving and inspiring tales, and a massive dollop of permission to find your power, out loud.
The goal: a voice that's specific not generic, brave not safe, joyful not self-serious, varied not squeezed into one boring note, diverse in all the ways. So, you move the room and get what you want — the gig, the raise, the respect, the yes, the future that is calling to you.
A timely talk that meets the crises of this moment with joy, science-based strategy, and contagious courage.

These students were selected from applications across our At-Large regions (including Central At-Large, where the Austin region falls). Our keynote speaker is Sydney Montgomery ‘15, Executive Director & Founder of Barrier Breakers. Please RSVP here by May 2nd.
