How do we truly achieve 'Balance For Better'?
Should we be striving for 'Balance'?
What does 'Better' look like?
We all have questions in regards to how we can move forward positively, the important thing is that we keep having these conversations. We keep opening up our platforms for a continous dialogue in order to bring us closer to a space that is organically inclusive & representative of us as a people.
March is the month where we all take time out to both celebrate women and discuss topics concerning women in the world! This years theme of 'Balance For Better' has us all thinking and asking questions. We are so excited to be holding a variety event to further explore this.
This variety event is open for ALL to attend. It is very important to us that everyone gets to participate on the discussion. We believe most opinions need a platform to be heard and can't truly more forward without coming together now and again.
Women Of Power UK, Venus Libido & Sister Magazine present 'ELEVATE' The ultimate varitey event! We will have panels, stalls, talks, workshops, goody bags with products from brands like Ellesse, INTIMINA, Walkers and more! There will be something for everyone to take part in, so join us on the 24th March 1300 - 1800 for a jam packed day full of fun and discussion.
The Variety Event
Main Panels:
BALANCE FOR BUZZWORDS | 1430 - 1530
The Balance For Buzzwords Panel will explore our evolution of coining/adopting terminologies that often come as a point of debate... terms like Toxic Masculinity, Inclusion, Diversity, Feminism etc
We want to look at how labels are being used to define us and whether these safe words (that often result in the creation of safe spaces) are doing their job or indirectly promoting segregation.

TALK | | SPEAKING UP ABOUT YOUR PAIN
When we bury our pain and silence our stories we often find it increasingly diffcult to break out of the mental trap we placed ourselves in. There is something so empowering about sharing our stories. Something really powerful happens and this is why groups like ‘100 Women I Know’ & women like J.Kaur are nothing less than inspirational. They both use their platforms to express the power of survival.
They will be coming together to put on a workshop/talk to encourage & empower you.
