In July, Chrysalis welcomes Anna Colville-Smith — the woman behind The Womanhood Journal — to share the story of how a conversation on a kitchen couch became one of Kāpiti's most beloved community projects.
Five editions in, the Journal has showcased over 120 women in business from Kāpiti and Horowhenua, and raised more than $15,500 for Women's Refuge and Kāpiti Women's Centre.
It's a project built on story, collaboration, and the belief that when women are heard, something shifts.
Anna will talk about the inception, the impact, and what's happening next.
Come ready to be inspired — and maybe to share a little of your own story too.
