SheSays: Breaking into the industry
Ahead of International Women's Day, join the SheSays team as they delve into different ways to break into the creative industry through a panel discussion and collaborative workshop.
The pandemic has taken a toll on women in the creative industries, widening the gender pay gap even further. Which is why it’s so important for more women to break into the creative industry.
Are you struggling to get your foot in the door? Have you always wondered how other people got started? Or are you just starting out? Kickstart your journey into the creative industry with Joyce Kremer and Melissa Wong (SheSays), Erin Aniker (Illustrator), Natalie Narh (New Comma) and Nadina Ali (graphic designer) as they discuss their highs and lows breaking into their industries. The panel discussion will be followed by a collborative workshop. We will conclude the event with a chance to network with other fellow creatives.
