Give to Gain – Challenging Bias through Language and Lived Experience

Challenging bias begins with awareness — and the language to express it. In today’s conversations around race, identity, and belonging, language has become a powerful bridge between silence and visibility.

Join author Monique Pennie for an inspiring International Women’s Day event as she shares insights from her acclaimed book Don’t Call Me Scary!. Through honest dialogue and lived experience, Monique explores how naming our stories helps us challenge bias, reclaim identity, and build communities grounded in empathy, equality, and pride.

Copies of Monique’s book will be sold at £10 each.
