My Skin My Story: Celebrating Women of Colour for 6 years

This in person meetup in London is to celebrate 6 years of our My Skin My Story community, empowering women of colour around the world of all walks of life. Women of colour will connect, share their stories and celebrate each other.

We will hear stories from some inspiring women in our community, be energised through some fun and relaxed networking and most importantly leave this event with new meaningful connections. We welcome anyone who identifies as a woman of colour, new and familiar faces! 

During this event we will explore:

• Intersectionality as a superpower
• Owning our voice and our stories
• Defining success on our own terms
• Filling our own cups

Hosted by our founder Sathya Bala and at the lovely Netflix offices in London, this will be a moment for you to recharge, be inspired and nourished. We can't wait to see you. This is a grass roots community so please spread the word and bring your friends. Refreshments will be provided again thanks to our hosts at Netflix.
