Our Guest Speaker this week was Krista Kleiner, who creatively bridges culture and community, media and entertainment, philanthropy and advocacy. Bryan Ingram introduced our speaker.
💫
While Krista Kleiner was born and raised in California, she had the opportunity to observe the differences between the stable life she had known in the US, and the challenging circumstances of the people living in the slums of the Philippines from the age of two. It was during a visit to her mother’s homeland when she was just a child that Krista learned a life-changing lesson from her parents – we have the power to uplift the lives of others through intention, compassion, and action.
💫
Inspired by her experience, Krista continued to grow as a humanitarian, philanthropist, and changemaker. When she was only 16, she became a published author on leadership, followership, and preventing harassment and discrimination in the workplace. She quickly learned that telling people’s stories was the most effective way to foster understanding.
💫
During her childhood she also developed a love of the performing arts, and has starred in numerous primetime television shows throughout Asia. She’s hosted for GMA Network, ABS CBN Network, People Asia Magazine, Screen Singapore, Philippine Airlines, the Philippines Music Awards, Mercedes-Benz, and more.
