Power of Women Awards 2021
In 2021, we took Power of Women online. Faced with restrictions and challenges brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, we stayed connected and committed to our cause.
Choose to Challenge: In Conversation with Lara Asprey
In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we hosted a series of virtual events with our friends and supporters. The theme for International Women’s Day that year was ‘Choose to Challenge’, and we made this the focus of our discussion with advice expert, Lara Asprey. You can watch Lara, in conversation with our Chair and Founder, Juanita Ingram, below.
We also launched the Dress for Success, ‘Your Hour, Her Power,’ campaign, to raise funds for the vital work we do. We asked our supporters to consider giving one hour of their pay to empower a woman in need, giving her access to the tools she needs to achieve economic independence.
