Women of Colour Rising Breakfast - Christchurch

  • foundation cafe 60 Cathedral Square Christchurch, Canterbury, 8011 New Zealand (map)

Want to meet other women of colour who are doing great mahi in your city and learn from them?

As an ethnically diverse woman who has grown up and lived in NZ for the last 20 years, I have come across multiple challenges. Some of these were internal, like am I losing part of my cultural identity but I feel like I need to assimilate well to be successful. Other challenges were more external, like answering the question “Where are you really from?” and not seeing myself reflected in media or in the higher positions in corporates.

It is not until recently that I have started to acknowledge that hey my difference is my strength, e.g. how I am able to see different perspectives, code switch and empathise with others.

This is a networking event for women who identify themselves as ethnically diverse and would like to meet and learn from other women of colour, their experiences and discoveries of their unique strengths.

Is this event for you?

  • Yes, if you identify yourself as an ethnically diverse woman or woman of colour

  • Yes, if you can relate to the internal and external challenges I have outlined above
