Citizenship: An Act of Bravery and Imagination!

This  is the time for women, for much needed truth–telling and bravery.  So,  we invite you into the inner sanctum of M4R to join this guided  narrative with four brave and beautiful women sharing their individual  struggle to be part of a healthier and more inclusive society, and the  importance of continuously challenging limited belief systems, their  privilege and capabilities.

Be  part of what will be a radiant gathering of soul sisters in celebration  of International Women’s Day. Take your seat at the table with Carmen  Lee Platt, Veronica Nou, Leonie Dyer and Dulce Muñoz, who have all made  lasting contributions to Australian charity M4R.
