Some people say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Us? We say it’s International Women’s Day.
After all, it’s when we get to celebrate being us. Being women. We celebrate that, despite all the barriers, the invisible load, gender inequality and discrimination, women still thrive. We fight. We shatter glass ceilings. We stand in solidarity with each other. We find the strength to keep going, no matter what life hurls at us.
IWD is when we reflect on the past and reimagine the future. And it’s when we hear stories – sometimes uplifting, sometimes heartbreaking, always powerful – from extraordinary humans. This year’s line-up includes:
RACHEL GRIFFITHS
One of Australia’s most prolific industry professionals, Rachel Griffiths is a multi-award- winning actor and filmmaker. After starting her career on the Australian stage, Rachel made her screen debut in the iconic Muriel’s Wedding. Since then, her screen credits include Six Feet Under, Brothers & Sisters, Hacksaw Ridge, Hilary & Jackie, Will Gluck’s Anyone But You, and the award winning New Zealand series, Madam.
Rachel was awarded an Order of Australia (AM) for her contribution to the arts in 2021 and boasts significant achievements with her company Magdalene Media, directing and producing the highest-grossing Australian feature of 2019, Ride Like A Girl. She also co-created, executive produced, and starred in the internationally acclaimed political drama Total Control.
BRIHONY DAWSON
Imagine if Graham Norton and Ace Ventura had a really tall baby that ended up being a little bit funnier and a whole lot cheekier and you’d have Brihony Dawson.
Brihony is a rare entertainment force, celebrated as a charismatic television presenter, sports commentator, and vocalist. In 2022, they made history as the first non-binary presenter to front a major TV show in Australia, and they’re also making entrepreneurial waves with their latest venture, Evie Entertainment - a creative agency representing Australia’s best talent for all the best events across the country.
Whether they’re creating, performing, or hosting, Brihony Dawson lives and breathes entertainment. A moment with Brihony isn’t just an encounter—it’s a backstage pass to a truly unique life packed with laughter, authenticity, and unforgettable stories.
SARAH GRYNBERG
Sarah Grynberg is a keynote speaker and mindset coach who empowers professional athletes, senior executives and business owners to reach new heights in their personal and professional lives by helping them overcome unhelpful thinking and achieve greatness. With a wealth of experience and a unique approach, Sarah has become the go-to expert in the art of cultivating a powerful mindset. Sarah is also the creator and host of the internationally acclaimed podcast, 'A Life of Greatness', where she has interviewed personalities such as Matthew McConaughey, Geena Davis, Esther Perel, Simon Sinek, Deepak Chopra, and others.
AZURE ANTOINETTE
Since being discovered by Oprah Winfrey, Azure has written and shared global stages with personalities such as Elizabeth Gilbert and Lady Gaga. Azure is a 17-year survivor of Multiple Sclerosis and a passionate advocate for fellow patients. She works alongside brands such as TED, SXSW, North Face, Biogen, Tourism Australia, GAP, Clean & Clear, Beats by Dr Dre, L'Oreal, Johnson & Johnson and countless more. In 2021, Azure became the first character to portray her disease on the hit series Grey's Anatomy. Azure and her co-star Kevin McKidd were GRAMMY considered for their remake of Chasing Cars, amplifying injustice for African Americans. Offscreen you'll find Azure building her branding agency and devising storytelling strategies for clients.
There will also be a live performance from Aria-nominated Karina Chavez, the highly sought-after vocalist whose massive international hit Show me Love continues to rock dance floors and audiences around the world, and your talented emcee Sarah Davidson will lead the morning’s proceedings with her usual panache and expertise.
Huge thanks to our friends at Chemist Warehouse, Logitech, Strand and Glasshouse for celebrating women alongside us.
