About this event

Business • Media

This year, We Hate Pink brings its bold energy back to London, this time with a powerful message: Joy as an act of Resistance. In a world wired to keep us burned out, boxed in, and playing small, choosing joy —real joy—is nothing short of a radical act.

In a culture designed to keep us overworked, boxed in, and shrinking ourselves, choosing joy—real, embodied joy—is nothing less than radical. This isn’t about surface-level positivity; it’s about joy as a conscious, defiant choice, a force that dismantles oppressive systems and sparks new ways of living, leading, and creating.

Why It Matters

This panel digs into the role of the creative industry—not just to entertain, but to empower. Through storytelling, design, sound, and image, we’ll uncover how inclusive narratives can ignite connection and drive cultural transformation.

What You’ll Hear

Joy as Creative Fuel: How choosing joy makes space for deeper, more disruptive creative work.

Authentic Leadership: Why empathy, care, and vulnerability aren’t “soft” but radically strategic.

Cultural Storytelling That Matters: Leveraging Creative Platforms to rewrite who gets seen, heard, and celebrated.

Intersectionality in Action: Moving past the buzzword to embed true diversity into the core of every project.
