Mhairi Black EqualiTeas event
On Friday the 22nd of June together with Mhairi Black we hosted EqualiTea event
to celebrate what equality means to us over a cup of tea and a cake.
We had a lovely time debating about democracy, and sharing our ideas on voting rights. We also heard an inspiring talk from our local MP Mhairi Black. She even managed to lead the slosh dance with our guests. Video from the dance can be found here.
We want to thanks to everyone who contributed to the event. Our Equality was a wonderful success and we are looking forward to our 100 Voices of Inspiring Women event in September.
