Join sofa.com in our stunning flagship Chelsea showroom for an exciting evening discussing what it means to be a woman in 2023, how we can continue to live to our full potential and the positive impact we can have on the world and society with Dr Julie Smith, Pandora Sykes and Ruby Hammer.
Every year the world pauses to reflect on and celebrate International Women’s Day. From gaining the right to vote to having more freedoms than ever before, International Women’s Day is an occasion for both men and women to celebrate everything that we have achieved in our mission for equality and being our truest selves. It’s also a chance to look at what we want to continue to strive for in the future – for ourselves and others.
During the evening we will discuss:
- What it means to be a woman in 2023
- How we have propelled ourselves forward
- Who have been the role models in our lives
- How we can continue to live to our full potential
- The importance of wellness and mental health
