What does it take to climb the highest mountain on every continent—and make history along the way?
The Colorado Nepalese Community will present a special afternoon with Shailee Basnet, Everest summiteer and coordinator of the historic Seven Summits Women Team. Shailee will share her remarkable journey—from mountaineering and leading an extraordinary mission of Nepali women across the world’s highest peaks to storytelling, stand-up comedy, and her work empowering girls and women. The conversation will also explore representation, resilience, identity, and reimagining narratives about Nepali women.
Come hear the remarkable true story of a woman who helped change what was possible and discover why sometimes the most extraordinary journeys begin with one small step.
