Loida Lewis is the first Filipina lawyer to pass the New York State Bar and is a businesswoman, philanthropist, and leader in the global Filipino community. After her husband's passing, she took over TLC Beatrice International, driving the company to continued success. A former General Attorney for the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, Lewis co-authored How to Get A Green Card, now in its 12th edition. Through the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation, her philanthropic work includes scholarships and micro-financing for Filipino families. She co-founded three major organizations advocating for legal defense, governance, and the Filipino diaspora. Lewis is also a proud mother of two Harvard cum laude graduates.
In this episode, she shares her journey of immigrating to the U.S., where she supported her husband, Reginald Lewis, in his historic $1 billion acquisition of Beatrice International Foods. Loida also became the first Asian woman to pass the New York bar in 1974. Following Reginald’s death in 1993, she took over as CEO of TLC Beatrice, leading the company to profitability.
