I am delighted to share an invitation with our Bangkok Patana community to celebrate International Women’s Day 2026 through a special event taking place at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. The event is organised in collaboration with the Australian Alumni Association (Thailand) Women in Leadership Committee, AWARE (Australian Women Alumni Relations for Equity), and UN Women.
The day will feature:
- Panel discussions

The programme supports Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and highlights individuals and organisations whose missions centre on giving back and creating social impact.
I am honoured to be contributing to the day by:
- Delivering the inauguration poetry performance on the campaign theme “Give To Gain: The Art of Giving”
- Facilitating a creative workshop titled “Envisioning Positive Change: Empowering Women’s Voices Through Creative Journalling and Collage”
