How to turn your activist goals into reality in 2018!
Event Information
Description
What a difference a year makes! Social change often feels like a long game but more and more we are seeing incredible women harness the power of digital to create impact quickly.
Just days into 2018 the energy, conversation and activism of the #MeToo movement has translated into action with #TimesUp raising $15M for women to challenge sexual assault, harassment and abuse in the workplace. And the year is only just beginning!
For WeHuddle's first event of 2018 we are bringing together amazing women who show that it is possible to turn ambitions into action quickly. We'll discuss our own activism goals for 2018 and hear tips and tricks to inspire us to make this the year we turn our goals into reality.
Come along to get the inspiration and support you need to make 2018 an impactful year for you!
We'll be joined by:
Paula Akpan, co-founder of the 'I'm Tired' Project and social media coordinator for gal-dem magazine, and Nicole Crentsil, founder of Unmasked Women. In 2017 Paula and Nicole crowdfunded and launched The Black GIrl Festival, the UK's first Black British festival for women and girls that celebrated and explored what it means to be a Black woman in the UK.
Carys Afoko, co-founder of LevelUp a new feminist organisation on a mission to build a community of people across Britain who can work together to end sexism.
Doors open 6.45pm discussion starts at 7.15pm.
WeHuddle supports world changing women (all women!) through community, events and resources. Our events are open to all and proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the organisations represented by our speakers.
After the sell-out success of our first event, we look forward to starting 2018 as we mean to go on.
Come join us!
