Welcome to Empower Circles

Welcome Home to 10 Nexus: Building bridges across cultures, one conversation at a time.

Empower Circles is a home for intimate conversations with global leaders, builders, and creators who are shaping our world.

We believe the most powerful insights come not from stages or podiums, but from genuine dialogue — the kind that happens when curious people sit down together across cultures, disciplines, and geographies to ask: Who are you becoming? What do you believe? How are you building across difference?

What we do

Every edition of Empower Circles features a long-form editorial conversation with someone who is leading in their field — not through a narrow lens of expertise, but through the fuller picture of who they are: their origins, their values, the cultures they navigate, the bridges they build.

We publish these conversations as magazine-quality editorials. We host live salons and intimate roundtables where community members engage directly with our guests. We're building a community of people who believe that understanding across difference is not just a nice idea — it's essential.

Who we are

Empower Circles is part of 10 Nexus Global, a community and platform for global citizens, cultural entrepreneurs, and bridge-builders. We gather people who live between worlds, who move fluidly across cultures, who see difference not as a problem to solve but as a design element to leverage.

Our guests include ambassadors, founders, artists, strategists, and change-makers based in Shanghai, London, Paris, Hanoi, Lagos, New York, and everywhere in between.

Why we do this

The world is fragmented. Our media is siloed. Our networks are often homogeneous. We wanted to create a space where:

Stories matter. We go deep. We ask the questions that take time to answer well.
Culture is taken seriously. We don't extract expertise — we understand people as whole beings shaped by where they're from, where they've been, and where they're going.
Belonging is reciprocal. Our community members aren't audiences. They're voices. They share their own stories, ask their own questions, build their own connections through Empower Circles.
The in-between is celebrated. We're especially interested in people who live at intersections — across cultures, disciplines, identities, ways of knowing. That's where innovation actually lives.
