Redefining Beauty: Tackling body shaming to reconcile women with their body

Description
The push for better representation of diverse bodies in media is urgent. With celebrities like Jameela Jamil leading against body shaming, the movement is gaining momentum but needs collective responsibility, especially from the media industry. Studies show 71% of consumers believe health and beauty brands should use diverse models, and 65% consider a brand's commitment to true diversity when making purchases. This session will explore the importance of media representation, the consequences of neglecting it, and strategies for advertisers and media owners. Join us to learn how to foster body positivism and create a more inclusive media landscape for women.

Postpartum power: Blending motherhood and entrepreneurship

Description
Despite 98% of mums wanting to go back to work after they have children, only 13% think it’s viable on a full-time basis. In fact, giving birth and raising young children often lead women to pursue self-employment or home-based entrepreneurship, allowing them to balance motherhood with their professional goals. This session offers valuable tools for navigating self-employment, running a business from home, and securing decent pay, all while addressing the challenges of new motherhood including postpartum depression. Join us to learn practical strategies and gain insights from experts who have successfully balanced their entrepreneurial ambitions with the demands of motherhood.
