"THAT Woman":
Redefining inclusion

Have you ever felt like you are “THAT Woman”… the one who is spoken about but not spoken to? Or like “THAT Woman” who just doesn’t quite belong? Many of us have; it’s fairly common, but that doesn’t make it okay.

This International Women’s Day, you are invited to join a 55 minute conversation that will take “inclusivity” to the next level. For too long, many women's voices (and health) have been left in the background, their stories hidden away like old books in the attic. Well, no more. We’re dusting off those valuable volumes, opening them up, and embracing the richness within because every struggle faced, every obstacle overcome is a testament to the indomitable spirit of "THAT Woman”.
