Synopsis

Women’s voices are crucial to creating inclusive, open and prosperous societies.  In this new book, #myvoice, 23 women from across the globe courageously stand proud and use their voices to share empowering, emotional and inspiring stories of how they took charge of difficult situations, which motivated them to use their pain and struggles to serve the community or give hope to others.  There’s something for every woman in this book, from suffering from mental illness to battling with a terminal-illness diagnosis, handling the challenges of career changes and coping with low self-esteem.  The women in this book are all change-makers.  Join us for an inspiring conversation with five of the co-authors: Minal Mahtani, Tracy Ho, Neelam Harjani, Shirley Adrain and Sonia Samtani, who all live in Hong Kong, as they share stories of perseverance, honouring their life purpose and recognising that age is no barrier to achieving happiness.
