We cannot wait to take a deep dive into what inspired Christina and where she sees the future of African Diasporic writers. #2sydneystylistslive #2ssconversations See more

Namely, equipping and empowering CALD women and youth to break the pattern of abuse and neglect in their communities. In this live conversation we want to break open the cone of silence that surrounds domestic violence. We acknowledge there are some unique challenges that face CALD communities. For example: - Gender roles and cultural norms and the part they play in masking Domestic violence and abuse. - Fear of talking about abuse as it brings shame and potential of being ostracised by the community as a result. - Not having the language, resources or awareness of tools available to assist abuse victims. We will centre our main conversation around: Attachment, Resilience and Competency. #2ssconversations #2sydneystylistslive

06.01.2022 We’re so privileged to be joined by Nurdan Taylor, a Proud Turkish Mumma Sharing Squares Of Her Life, tonight at 6:30pm AEST. Topic: #challengeaccepted - Do we understand what we accepted? In this conversation with Nurdan Taylor, we take an inside look at Femicide; a sex-based hate crime term, broadly defined as "the intentional killing of females (women or girls) because they are females".... It is a prevalent issue in many countries - Australia included - where one woman is murdered by a current or former partner each week. According to Counting Dead Women, the latest death brings this year’s total to 23 so far, with May 2020 being considered as one of the deadliest months. And is being referred to as the 2nd or 3rd Pandemic (behind race). We will focus the lens on Turkey, and give voice to the message that the black and white picture challenge was highlighting - the need to acknowledge and fight to put a stop to Femicide. See more
