Together Equal was born on International Women’s Day 2018 with the purpose of creating content that gives people the tools to begin conversations around all sorts of topics. We’ve come a long way over the last 3 years, to become a profit with purpose business generating revenue from our Corporate Workshops that fund our school programme. Every corporate workshop we run pays for a 10 week programme for a primary or secondary school.

To celebrate International Women’s Day 2021, and our 3rd birthday, Neve Taylor our Corporate Training Lead and Chief Storyteller was interviewed by Currencycloud.  The theme for IWD this year is #Choosetochallenge and here’s what Neve has chosen to focus on. Listen to the full podcast here.

“To celebrate IWD 2021 I #choosetochallenge by calling out gender bias and inequality, question stereotypes, help forge an inclusive world. With Together Equal we have the privileged position to be able to support and encourage people to own their voice and promote inclusivity. We run corporate workshops that help women in particular be heard in organisations and all the profits go back into schools to help young people understand that we all have a voice.

I chose this because lockdown has brought mental health issues to light for both men and women. Women journey through profoundly different stages during their lives that can be personally and professionally challenging to navigate.. As I approach 50, I want to help women understand the natural and inevitable changes they are going through and how that can affect their work and relationships. It’s vital to encourage women to accept their evolving states, own their own self care and not try to be like a man to get ahead. Vive la difference! Diversity is nature in action.”
