Podcast features also on weekly radio. Graphics by Molly Beardall EmpowerHer*Voice is a community-based platform for all people of marginalised genders worldwide to spotlight their innovative and far-reaching vision and foreground their unique and everyday lived experiences. We are a space of collaborative and productive dialogue, a space dedicated to the voice and the story it
has to tell. Our platform brings together artists, creatives, activists, and academics or just curious people all engaged in a common mission: to share and cultivate novel ideas with the potential to reshape our shared reality. Our community revolves around the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
We cultivate cultural, cross-disciplinary dialogue in our speaker events, workshops and team meetings. We want to create a virtual environment where knowledge filters through different mediums and disciplines, in order for us to build on each other’s ideas in a way that is constructive, and collaborative, rather than destructive. We aim to amplify people's voices through writing and audio pieces that we publish online. Our Big Sister programme aims to make this knowledge accessible to girls or women with little or no access to these kinds of spaces. We offer 1-1 mentorship; group workshops and skills training. We provide additional support and resources in order for them to better equip themselves in their professional and personal pursuits. We use our platform as a means to fundraise for organisations working towards empowerment through education.
We want our work to have tangible practical impacts and believe in the power of targeted and effective fundraising to provide the material conditions for people to better their lives. Our fundraising work and Big Sister mentorship programme are both organised in partnership with ‘Sister Organisations’ that provide education to young womxn. Partners are selected on the basis of having a common goal in educational empowerment. These organisations currently include the Sanjan Nagar Public Education Trust in Pakistan; the Santa Maria Foundation in Colombia; GirlUp in Uganda.
