We’re taking In Her Name to Canberra.

Led by Rhonda Itaoui Advisory, in partnership with the Australian Multicultural Womens Alliance and BN Collective, In Her Name will be part of the FECCA National Conference 2026, leading an important national conversation and consultation experience on the future of multicultural women’s leadership in Australia.

Pass the Mic: Co-designing the Future of Multicultural Women’s Leadership in Australia will bring together research, lived experience and practical program models to ask an important question: what needs to change to create stronger, more meaningful pathways for multicultural women to lead?

Representing In Her Name, Bellamore Ndayikeze will share her own leadership journey and the impact of mentorship and sponsorship, while In Her Name Director Katrina Scaramella will present In Her Name as a case study in what can happen when financial backing, advocacy and long-term networks come together.

Together with Dr Rhonda Itaoui and Malini Raj, the session will then pass the mic to the room, inviting delegates to contribute their experiences, ideas and practical solutions for change.

Friday 16 October | 12.05pm–1.05pm

FECCA National Conference 2026 | Canberra

How do you build a business that creates opportunities for women thousands of kilometres away?

For Mursal Azizi, founder of Hoori Handmade, it begins with a connection to her Afghan heritage and a commitment to supporting the women whose skills and artistry deserve a wider audience.

A multidisciplinary artist, social entrepreneur and refugee from Afghanistan, Mursal established Hoori Handmade in 2025 to connect Afghan women artisans with international markets.

What began with 36 women has grown to 75 artisans, many of whom are the sole income earners for their families.

But Hoori Handmade is about more than selling beautiful products. It’s about preserving traditional craftsmanship, creating economic opportunities and ensuring the work of Afghan women can reach customers in Australia.

In this interview, hear from Mursal about the story behind Hoori Handmade, the women at the heart of the business and what it means to bring their work to Melbourne.

Meet Mursal and explore Hoori Handmade at On Her Path: Retail Ready, trading at SO:ME Space, South Melbourne Market, from 21 October – 1 November.
