The voices that Move | Goals Lounge.




In an era where social media and public platforms amplify voices like never before, influence carries both opportunity and responsibility. For many public figures, a platform begins as a space to share their work, creativity and personal journeys. Over time, it can evolve into a powerful tool for advocacy, representation and social impact.


Join actress and activist Liza Soberano and model and activist Pritika Swarup at the Goals Lounge for an inspiring conversation on women's empowerment, representation, advocacy and the power of using your platform for meaningful change. Through personal stories and reflections, they will explore how visibility can be transformed into action, the challenges and rewards of advocacy and why individual voices remain critical in shaping a more equitable future.

This session will invite audiences to think beyond awareness and consider how influence, whether large or small, can be used to inspire action, challenge stereotypes and drive progress toward gender equality and social justice
