I have always been an advocate for gender equality which means that as girls and women we can be recognised for our worth and respected for who we are as human beings. Women are at the heart of humanity and when we find our true voices we find our confidence, self-worth and strength. We also find and provide support for one another.
I would love you to join me on International Women’s Day by attending this online singing workshop. I have composed a song specially for the occasion and will teach it to you all on the day. I've called it ‘I'm choosing to Challenge’ which is in keeping with this year's official theme #ChooseToChallenge.
The workshop is open to all women aged 16 and above from around the world so please help me to spread the word and make it a momentous occasion. One that we can all be proud of forever.
About 100 women’s voices
In November 2018, to celebrate 100 years since The Suffragettes won the right for ‘some’ women to vote; we held a mass choral community singing event at the iconic St George’s Hall concert room, in partnership with Blackburne House. The event gathered 100 women from various different communities and organisations.
“It’s important that we are visible as creators, mothers, sisters and community and tonight gave the opportunity to show that equality for all is key. When we see women in powerful positions, it makes the world a better and more powerful place to be.”
