Vision
This world needs more activated leaders and it is the mission of Formidable Voices events to aid those willing to bring forth all their gifts, to express their message and be forces of good in the world.
Formidable Voices events strives to deliver, highlight, enhance, increase and uplift incredible, underrepresented voices and leaders of colour across coaching, creative, tech and online business, activism and social justice including speakers, writers, coaches, podcasters, published authors and healing modality practitioners and pioneers.
Formidable Voices is also for womxn, identifying as women, trans and non-binary. Formidable Voices welcomes accomplices, that is, non-BIWOC to be a part of our movement to centre BIWOC at the forefront. Accomplices are people who are dismantling white supremacy and doing the transformative inner work to be forces of good in the world.
Why
Womxn of Colour have powerful stories and immense presence but you wouldn’t know it from looking at who is featured in speaker lineups and summit events, in media, in leadership positions and on the screen.
Formidable Voices events seeks to bridge the gap and bring front and centre Womxn of Colour visionaries, entrepreneurs, small business owners, storytellers and magic makers.
How
Formidable Voices creates powerful events, experiences, speaking and teaching opportunities, coaching, courses, programs and a dedicated membership platform for Womxn of Colour and non-BIWOC accomplices.
Learn from our expert speakers and teachers at the forthcoming in-person event in Melbourne, Australia. This event showcases womxn of colour speaker talks, panel discussion and networking for all participants to engage in sisterhood and community.
When
The first Formidable Voices event will be held in Melbourne at Events by Kinfolk at 673 Bourke St, Melbourne on Wednesday 13 November 2019 at 6.30pm-9.30pm.
I have chosen to partner with Humanitix for ticket sales.
Social Impact
Humanitix donates 100% of profits to a chosen impact project, in this instance I have chosen Indigenous scholarships. Indigenous students face many unique challenges that have made education gaps difficult to close. Those in regional, rural and remote communities in particular have to contend with geographic barriers, with only 24% of Indigenous students having access to a school that offers study to Year 12. This project provides scholarships to close the gap for indigenous students.
Formidable Voices profits are re-invested to support and elevate Womxn of Colour.
Gifts and Lucky Door Prizes
Each event attendee will receive a gift bag valued at over $100 with goodies provided by our lovely sponsors.
There's a few amazing lucky door prizes which will be announced on the night!

It's time for formidable voices to be considered first, not as an afterthought or checkbox strategy to tokenistic inclusion and diversity.

- When was the last time you attended a speaking event or conference and the keynote speakers and entire line up were Black, Indigenous and Womxn of Colour? I'm 42 and I've never had the pleasure in the places I've lived in Australia. I'm creating this platform and space because we are limitless in talent and it's time our inclusive leadership, voices, spirit and stories come forward. The speaker lineups in entrepreneurial spaces lack diversity and inclusion.
- What expertise, experience, nuances and wisdom are you missing out on? There's a WEALTH of incredible humans with amazing work that you just aren't getting exposed to because of the same old, same old ways and leadership.
- How many times have you been to an event and heard the same message delivered slightly differently by the same people who get invited constantly?
