Digital Platform Empowering Women

We are pleased to announce the launch of the first edition of our quarterly newsletter. This will be emailed to people who are registered through our website and we look forward to distributing it among our Facebook followers as well.

This format will enable us to approach concepts that do not necessarily fit within the structure of an online publication. Through our newsletter, subscribers will receive curated and customized news; giving them inside access to what we have been researching and how we are empowering the female community! We really hope this will be a welcome addition to your inbox and encourage you to subscribe to it.

Through this newsletter, we strive to create something unique, candid and most importantly genuinely beneficial for our readers. And this is exactly why we chose a quarterly schedule so that our correspondence is relevant and certainly not overwhelming. In fact, something you actually look forward to receiving!

Lastly, we cannot do without YOU so please feel free to give us feedback about our newsletter.
