On Friday 6th March, we were thrilled to celebrate the women who live love or work in Port Phillip and recognise those that come before us at our Live Love Work Port Phillip, 2020 International Women’s Day Breakfast.
It was a fantastic morning, for a great cause where over 120 people came together to hear inspiring local stories and had the opportunity to mix and mingle with people who make up our community.
Live Love Work Port Phillip and our International Women’s Day Breakfast was developed by Ali and two other local female entrepreneurs who are passionate about building connection and community with a place they love.
The Port Phillip community is a magnificent kaleidoscope of people who live, visit, and work in Port Phillip. They are unique, diverse, entrepreneurial, creative and have plenty of heart, soul and smarts, but mostly we are authentic, welcoming and respect and celebrate each others differences.
We are looking forward to building stronger connection with the Port Phillip social and business communities over the coming year.
