Finally managed to get time to talk about this! On 5th March, I had an incredible opportunity to be part of a thought-provoking #InternationalWomensDay event – Cultivating Black Women for Social Change – conceptualised by Palma Black, Founder and Director of Soul Purpose 360 CIC.
I was so honoured when Palma reached out to me to be her Social Media & Campaign Manager and offer my support in giving Black women a platform to explore opportunities and prepare them to #BreakTheBias in schools, in the workplace and in their communities.
This much-needed project positively impacted over 100 women, who attended the event at Croydon Town Hall, and equipped them with knowledge and confidence to become changemakers.
This impactful event featured exemplary women who are leaders in their field such as Hamida Ali, the first woman of colour to become Council Leader of the Borough of Croydon and Charlene Greenaway, a single mother from a council estate who’s a Regional Director at an international company, Capita Plc. This event also featured notable speakers and workshops facilitated by extraordinary women:
