Every year International Women's Day comes and goes. Rather than go back to business as usual, we say it should Never Not be International Women’s Day. Welcome to a mind-changing, bias-ridding, downright mutinous loop of ideas and musings from women in the creative and associated industries everywhere that will run 24/7/365 on a loop forever, or until...we don’t need to talk about it anymore.
The events of 2025 are already reinforcing that women are still a long way from equality and equity. Globally, women bear the brunt of the physical, emotional and financial impacts of economic, financial and political decisions with their livelihoods affected at almost twice the rate of men.
As International Women’s Day comes and goes, we say enough really is f*cking enough.
Enough of our stoicism. Enough of our patience. Enough of the injustice. It will be Never Not International Women’s Day until all women including women of colour, women with disabilities, and queer or trans women, stop being penalised for being women.
A heartfelt monologue by Linh Diep, founder of mentoring program, Assisterhood. Linh shares how confidence can both inhibit and unlock the power to create change and hope that employers will strive to zero the gender gap in workplaces.
Belittled, mansplained, treated as if you're unable to add value is the wrong expectation to set for a young, female creative – but it's far too common. Steph shares her experiences, but also how she's challenging the status quo and building her own network of allies.
Letting it go, staying quiet, not speaking out, not sticking up for each other – it will be Never Not International Women's Day until we reverse these behaviours. Nads has spent years learning how not to take any shit. Watch, listen and join her and Nicole on sticking up for ourselves.
This is just a little tea talk with Tanarra about the outcomes of a system predicated on the fear of women's success. I've been examining fear a lot in the workplace, and how it manifests, what it keeps us from doing, and frankly, the violence it visits upon us.
