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 women. This year’s line-up includes:
MARTHA BARNARD-RAE
Martha Barnard-Rae is a copywriter, TEDx and keynote speaker, and neurodivergent business owner. She is the founder of Word Candy and a sore loser of board games. Martha moonlights as a feminist scholar and a co-host of The One That Works For You podcast.
A former English teacher, Martha is adept at distilling complicated ideas in a clear, concise way. Setting boundaries is her superpower. Her love language is aggressive enthusiasm.
DR. GINA CLEO
Dr. Gina Cleo is one of the world’s leading experts in habits and is passionate about translating scientific evidence into simple, actionable strategies to help improve health, wellness, mindset, and lifestyle-related habits – long-term. Gina has a PhD in habit change, is an Adjunct Professor at Bond University and an Accredited Dietitian. Gina has also recently published a book, The Habit Revolution.
AZURE ANTOINETTE
Since being discovered by Oprah Winfrey, Azure has written for and shared stages across the globe with personalities such as Elizabeth Gilbert and Lady Gaga.
Azure is a 17-year survivor of Multiple Sclerosis and has a strong passion for patient advocacy and living well with MS. She has served as brand ambassador, keynote presenter and on-air personality for TED, SXSW, North Face, Genentech, Biogen, Mumbrella 360, Tourism Australia, GLAAD, Clean & Clear, GAP, Beats by Dr. Dre, L’Oreal, Johnson & Johnson and many more.
In April 2021, Azure became the first character to portray her disease on screen and represent the LGBT+ community on the hit series Grey’s Anatomy in its 17th season. As a follow-up to her role on screen, Azure and co-star Kevin McKidd were GRAMMY™ considered for their remake of Snow Patrol’s hit Chasing Cars, amplifying the injustice and inequity for African Americans during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Off screen, you can find Azure working in her boutique branding agency, advising on empathetic and equitable practices, campaigns, and devising storytelling strategies for clients.
