TOMO Voice 2025 Theme:

My Derukui Network

A celebration of achievement and a safe space to share how a "Derukui" network nurtures resilience, boosts confidence.

​

We’re inviting speakers to share real, personal stories about what it means to be a derukui — someone who dares to be different — and the community that helps them keep going.
