Hidden Figures: Queer Entrepreneurs Shaping San Antonio's Economy

Behind storefronts, creative studios, nonprofit offices, corporate boardrooms, and historic movements across San Antonio are LGBTQ+ leaders who have quietly built economic power, advanced equity, and strengthened community resilience—often without recognition.

Hidden Figures: LGBTQ+ Entrepreneurs, Power, and Legacy in San Antonio brings these stories into the light.

This DreamWeek 2026 panel conversation will explore the untold contributions of LGBTQ+ leaders across history, public service, business, nonprofit, and corporate leadership. Through storytelling and dialogue, panelists will reflect on visibility, authenticity, advocacy, and what it takes to build an inclusive local economy where LGBTQ+ people not only participate—but lead.

The discussion will highlight how past and present leadership intersect, why representation matters in decision-making spaces, and how each sector plays a role in shaping a more just and welcoming San Antonio.

What to Expect:

• Panel discussion with local LGBTQ+ business leaders
• Conversation on visibility, advocacy, and economic empowerment
• Networking opportunities with fellow changemakers and community members

Light refreshments will be provided.
This event is free and open to the public (RSVP encouraged).
