International Women's Day conference for Black women (and their allies) in the North of England

Following on from the success of previous year's International Women's Day conference, Black Northern Women are here again for International Women's Day 2022. Come and join us for a day of fun and friendship.

The theme this year is 'Break the Bias' and to quote the International Women's Day website:

'Imagine a gender equal world.

A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination.

A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

A world where difference is valued and celebrated.

Together we can forge women's equality.

Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.'

Black Northern Women take that a step further to include a racial equal world as well.

This will be a day of inspiration and information to empower and encourage you to break the bias, and celebrate sisterhood.

There will be panel discussions with Q&As, motivational talks, self-development and more...

Join us and equip yourself to break through the bias that limits you from achieving your full potential and becoming ALL you are meant to be.

SpeakersAngie Le Mar - Keynote Speaker

Angie Le Mar – the multi award winning comedienne, Businesswoman, Speaker, Writer, Director, Producer, Talk Show Host and osargenews.com Brand Ambassador – blends her own style of creativity and fun with out of the box thinking to bring her own brand of entertainment straight to her audience.

As one of Britain’s top comediennes, Angie has successfully harnessed the power of laughter to create inspiring and thought provoking productions. From stage to radio to TV to the written page Angie is a proven hit with a multicultural audience – male, female, young and old alike. She is equally at home with quick-fire comedy, acutely observed character sketches and solid acting performances.

As a sought after keynote speaker Angie has graced the stage locally, nationally and internationally with Schools, Colleges, Business platforms, Churches and an international mix of companies - which includes UNESCO, America, Shell, Barclay Bank, Ernst Young, Merrill Lynch – being inspired by her words, wit and wisdom.

Angie’s wide ranging career achievements, from being the first British performer to storm the legendary Harlem Apollo to making history in London‘s West End with the first ever sell out show by a black comedienne, not only enables her to deliver top quality performance and production values on stage, screen and the airwaves, but also to attract a large and loyal fan base along with greatly increased audiences wherever her work appears.

As an Entrepreneur, Angie’s aim is to inspire others to achieve against the odds and for two and a half years she ran the Angie Le Mar School of expression fuelled by the desire to show young people, not just show business, but the business behind it. It was a great success with a variety of special guests sharing their skills including Jeffrey Daniels from Shalamar who not only gave the children advice but also taught them the famous Michael Jackson moonwalk. Angie hopes to one day re open the school.

A guest appearance on ITV’s Loose Women in 2012 inspired Angie to create an all women panel TV show called Ladies Talk to set a multicultural balance in today’s media. The show had two successful runs, becoming an award winning show on the Vox Africa Network.
