Hidden Heroines: The Women Who Shaped Us (Without the Spotlight)

April Pereira

10:00 AM - 11:30 AM PDT

Friendly House & Zoom

Hidden Heroines: The Women Who Shaped Us illuminates the lives of lesser-known women whose influence has quietly shaped culture, community, and movements for justice. Through a curated series of narrative spotlights, the talk explores figures such as Jovita Idár, Zitkála-Šá, Grace Lee Boggs, and Jessie Redmon Fauset, women whose contributions were foundational, yet often overlooked. Blending storytelling with cultural reflection, April Pereira (ile/they/she), Founding Director of StorySpark Collective, examines how historical narratives are shaped, why certain voices are marginalized, and what we lose when stories of care, creativity, and community leadership go unrecognized.

What is Humanism?

Humanism is a way of life that guides us to be well and to do good without relying on anything supernatural. It's a progressive philosophy that embraces reason, compassion, and the pursuit of knowledge.

We welcome atheists, agnostics, truth-seekers, and anyone interested in exploring ethical living, critical thinking, and community building based on humanist principles.
