  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

The 2Inspire Network Ladies Day Event Celebrates “The Strength of Women”

The Founder of the 2Inspire Network, Hazel Chawapiwa is proud to announce the return of the 2inspire Ladies Day which will take place on June 28th at The Novotel Greenwich, a stone’s throw away from the famous Cutty Sark. Much like the Cutty Sark, many of the women in business who will be showcasing at the 2inspire Ladies Day have overcome adversity to become even stronger and more successful.

 


"Brick to Brick We Stand Firm Together Building Walls to Inspire Others" (Zara-Shola Odeniyi @cocoacabin).  These powerful words are central to this year’s theme of 2inspire Ladies Day which is “The strength of a Woman”. It is an event which is set to bring hundreds of women together from across London.

The event will be a free entry event which will include a children’s fashion show hosted by Isossy Children, free NHS Health Checks, a business clinic hosted by Lorna Stewart and a variety of workshops. Workshop topics will cover health, personal development, branding, sensuality and more.  Workshop facilitators on the day include Yvonne Thompson CBE, Noreen Makosewe, Valley Fontaine, Gail Reynolds and Lillian Ogbogoh.

The event will house up to 40 exhibitors, whose products range from fashion to beauty to artwork, making the event an ultimate one-stop shop for ladies seeking inspiration, shopping, pampering and entertainment all under one roof.  Not only does the event offer a platform that promotes and celebrates the creative talent of women in business, it also provides an arena that empowers and supports visitors in creating a crystal clear vision for both the personal and professional aspects of their lives.

The 2inspire Academy, Young, Gifted and Talented (YGT) musical showcase will also host an entertainment segment as part of the Ladies Day event. This showcase has been integrated into the Ladies Day program to kick start fundraising for the YGT project, which aims to produce a compilation album featuring  the Young, Gifted and Talented performers.
 
“Empowering individuals and helping them to realise their potential is something that I am passionate about. I believe that women should work together and support each other on their journeys. This belief is the foundation of the network, an organisation that provides social media platforms, events and training that help to empower, promote and inspire women. The strength and uniqueness of a woman can be compared to no other and I salute every woman out there.” says Founder Hazel Chawapiwa.

This event is an opportunity not to be missed.
