In this very special episode we talk about our new project 'She told me a story' - an open mic meet-up in Malmö where women with diverse backgrounds will come to meet & share their stories over coffee & wine in a safe and supportive environment. We are creating a networking event that enables real human connections, beyond 30 second pitches and polished LinkedIn profiles. A space where women will find friends, community, and belonging.
We also discuss how we can transform our communities, build real connections and that it's time we allowed ourselves to show up as we are.
