Pilipino American Unity for Progress (UniPro) is a New York City-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that envisions a world with a unified Filipino American voice. Founded in 2009, UniPro's mission is to engage Filipino Americans through collaboration, advocacy, and leadership development. It seeks to transform Filipino students & young professionals into community leaders through its various programs, which incorporate professional development, history, and policy through the lens of the Filipino experience. Ultimately, UniPro asks Filipino Americans to critically answer, "How do you define Progress?"

In this installment of their career series, Jen and Nani share their stories, insights, advice and answers to your questions about cultivating and sharing your story.
