Han Pham, a 2024-2025 Obama Foundation USA Leader, didn't begin her leadership journey with an executive position—it began with a conversation. After being laid off and searching for purpose, she began volunteering to support women running for office in Georgia. That experience set her on a path of community leadership and ultimately led her to roles where she could help others find their voice and power.
Today, she serves as the executive director of Her Term and is the founder of Badass Asian Women, a Metro Atlanta-based club of Asian American women using their collective strength to bring positive change to the local community. Through in-person events, an online forum, and an annual service project, Badass Asian Women aims to build visibility and impact while inspiring members to become more civically engaged.
