Year End Charity Evening: Breaking Boundaries - Women Leading Change

Breaking Boundaries: Women Leading Change

Join us for an inspiring year end charity evening, where a panel of accomplished women share how they have each harnessed their unique platforms in medicine, the arts, and business to drive meaningful change and motivate others. Through storytelling, reflection, and insight, these leaders reveal the transformative impact of female perspectives across traditionally male-dominated fields.

Meet our thought leaders:

Vanessa Gentile, founder and CEO of Bring Women Back To Work

Afsaneh Nagy, artist (NAGART) and ambassador of SoS Kinderdorf

Rosa Sangiorgio, board member of Women`s Brain Foundation

Overcoming Gender Barriers

The event will delve into the specific challenges they’ve faced as women in leadership roles - confronting and navigating systemic biases, breaking glass ceilings, and advocating for equity within their industries. From personal anecdotes to professional strategies, these women offer a rare glimpse into the resilience and vision required to succeed and thrive. They’ll share actionable advice for the next generation of female leaders, empowering future voices to overcome similar obstacles with confidence.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

A highlight of the evening will be an exploration of the intersections between their fields and how collaboration across disciplines can foster societal progress. Panelists will discuss innovative approaches to promoting health and well-being through the arts, the role of media in social advocacy, and how business initiatives can amplify positive change. Attendees will gain a new perspective on the synergy between disciplines and learn how to apply these ideas within their own spheres.

Why Attend?

This event is a unique opportunity to hear from women who are not only experts in their fields but are also actively challenging norms to create inclusive spaces for future leaders. Whether you’re a student, professional, or advocate for change, join us to gain inspiration, practical insights, and a network of like-minded individuals passionate about societal transformation.
