ditch the invisibility cloak
to share the stories that matter
Ditch the invisibility cloak! We’re building a news platform to champion the diverse experiences and accomplishments of women in the working world.
You are our inspiration: share your ideas, suggest articles, or maybe nominate yourself as an interviewee. Let’s amplify the voices that matter most and shape the narrative for women’s success
We want to highlight often-overlooked achievements and ideas from women and for women.
We want to seek out the multi-faceted life journeys and experiences of women.
We want to know your workplace challenges, your business innovations and everything in between. Bold thinkers and marginalised groups are all ripe for editorial.
Also in the spotlight will be topics that can help support all women to build a stronger, more equitable future – from how to develop valuable workplace skills through to professional guidance on managing important aspects of life and work, such as finance or family.
Shared knowledge is our super-power. Our ambition is to help make things different in future, with an ethos that achieves change through community not division.
