Amplifying minority voices and reshaping discourse through inclusive, youth-driven advocacy

Yulianna Frederika co-founded Lepak Conversations at 22 to advocate for Singapore's Malay-Muslim community through research-backed dialogue. Her viral tudung workplace advocacy for Muslim women to be able to wear the hijab in the workplace sparked national conversations and government collaboration. Recently transitioning to run her non-profit full-time, she creates spaces for minority women leaders and organises large-scale events addressing sensitive issues.

“Don't be afraid to be the change you want to see”, she advises, emphasising unity and representation in advancing equity.

Frederika received the Rising Champion Award at the inaugural Front & Female Awards Singapore.

We can start working towards true equity and inclusion when we first recognise the unequal starting points and address them at their root.
