Empower Her Voice - London is an organisation which aims to promote education and create discussion amongst women around the world; it was set up by Zainab Majid and Amira Fateh in 2017 and since then, has run successful talks and events that aim to increase positive networking between self-identifying women for a charitable cause.
For the first ever Empower Her Voice event in London, a group of fascinating women will discuss what it means to be a working mother in the arts today, whilst raising money for girls to attend school in Lahore, Pakistan.
We have a fantastic lineup of speakers on the panel: Fiammetta Rocco (Arts & Books Editor at The Economist), Elif Şafak / Elif Shafak (author), Margy Kinmonth (film and television director), Joanna Kirk (represented by Blain|Southern), Martine Rose (fashion designer), Alexandra Shulman (journalist) and Alice Murphy (historian). Tamar Clarke-Brown (artist and curator) will be chairing the discussion.
There will be lots of time for questions from the audience at the end, and a drinks reception kindly provided by Beavertown Brewery.
This event will be aiming to raise money to fund scholarships for girls to attend the Sanjan Nagar school based in Lahore, Pakistan. Book your ticket: All ticket sales will go towards funding the entire education (12 years) of 10 young Pakistani girls. Check out more about the Sanjan Nagar Public Education Trust here: http://www.snpet.org/index.php?func=page&page_id=1
We hope to create an inclusive and positive space to empower voices and make a difference!
