How many times have you been in rooms full of women discussing gender equality matters among themselves and very much agreeing with each other on the trillion things that need changing in order to achieve full equality? It’s high time we changed this echo chamber mentality and focused on inclusive and meaningful conversations. At the …

On June 22nd, we held our summer edition of the Girls Night Out, at La Terrasse O2, a pop-up restaurant and bar in a very pretty and green neighbourhood of Uccle. Perfect setting and great summer weather to welcome back some of our friends and SEVEN new club members!
Getting to know each other was easy, with our ice-breaking game, where only Kayla and Jess managed to guess first the lie among the 2 truths/1 lie game.
