Soberano further highlighted how the experience reinforced the value of conversations that go beyond individual platforms, emphasizing the role public figures can play in bringing attention to issues and communities that deserve greater visibility.
“Moments like this remind me of the importance of listening, learning from one another, and using the platforms we have to contribute to something bigger than ourselves,” she added. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my own perspective on advocacy, representation, and the responsibility that comes with having a voice. I am equally grateful for the perspectives, stories, and ideas shared throughout the conversation.”
The actress has previously used her platform to discuss identity, representation and social causes. As a Fil-Am artist navigating both Philippine and international entertainment spaces, Soberano has often spoken about the importance of authentic storytelling and creating opportunities for underrepresented voices.
The Goals Lounge, held during the United Nations General Assembly, brings together leaders, creatives, advocates and changemakers to discuss ideas connected to global development and social impact.
According to Soberano, the gathering became an opportunity not only to share her own experiences but also to learn from others participating in the conversation.
