Women Who Werkkk made it into Verge. Again 🥹 We won’t pretend external validation isn’t exciting, because it absolutely is. But more than that, it reinforces what we already know: this initiative matters, and that recognition helps us do more of it ✨ Three years of spotlighting women in the creative industry, and the conversation keeps going 🗣️ A huge thank you to Verge for covering us twice. And to everyone who attended, asked a question, showed out, and made this year’s event everything it was 🤍 Link in bio to read the full article. #WomenWhoWerkkk #HumanThreadsss #CreativeIndustry #WomenInCreative

If a tube strike can’t stop me, then who/what can? 🥹 Idk what to say but thank you to everyone that showed up, sent a message or helped in anyway. This was the first time planning and executing this on my own while working a 9-5 and it’s honestly been the hardest 6+ months of my life 🤣 Truly don’t take this community I’ve built for granted and I promise it’s only going to get better from here. Thank you for believing in me and coming to support this year’s #WomenWhoWerkkk. They’re all incredibly talented and you should definitely find a way to work with them. Huge thanks to @kiraa.uk for dressing me, this @onalajaofficial dress made me feel like the birthday 😉 To our partners and panellists, thank you for believing in the vision. I’m so happy to have such great brands and people part of our WWW26 family. @limitlessliveldn @wearemirchi @tenzing @xoxo.soda @oluolufoods @mossandglow @moyo_bello @inframephotoboothco @45londonshoreditch @blacq_space @shannieloves @teon_tiz Absolutely can’t not thank @daphfinee & @__cruz.ctrl for being the soundtrack behind the best night ever. Lastly, to my little sisters, Ashleigh (@ashleighlule ), Marlene (@marlene9x ) and Olive (@olivemojere ), thank you for stepping in and saving the day. Honestly, don’t know what I would’ve done without you. Love you for lifeeee 🤍 Funny how I started this saying idk what to say and now we have an essay but tonight lit a fire in me that absolutely nothing can put out. And l’ll forever have you all to thank. Gatrude’s granddaughter did it and she’ll absolutely do it again 🥹

The panel just got even better 👀 We’re adding one more to the lineup for Power, Proximity and Passing It On, and this one comes with good reason to celebrate. Joining us on the night: 🆕 Harry Trotman, Co-founder, Mirchi (@wearemirchi ) If you know, you know. And if you don’t, you’re about to. Harry brings a perspective that sits right at the heart of what this conversation is about: building something from the ground up, getting into the right rooms, and making sure others follow. We’re grateful to have him and the Mirchi team as part of the WWW 2026 family, and yes, they’re providing the drinks for the night. You’ll want to get there early to grab a free cocktail in the first hour🍹 Free tickets via the link in bio. Doors open 6pm, panel starts 7:15pm. Must have ID to attend. #HumanThreadsss #WomenWhoWerkkk #LondonCreativeNetwork #LondonEvents

We’ve had a few questions about what to wear, so we thought we’d make it easy for you ✨ The dress code? Dress to impress. Come looking like you mean it 🥰 You can also check out our @pinterestuk boards for all the inspo you need 📌 See you tomorrow 🤍 #HumanThreadsss #WomenWhoWerkkk #outfitinspiration

The question I get asked most is: why Black women? What exactly is the issue in the creative industry? This is your answer 👇🏾 75p for every £1 a White man earns. £9,786 less than White women. The only group whose salary went backwards in the last 12 months. 43,000 Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic professionals pushed out of the industry in a single year. And 82% of businesses with no DEI budget to speak of. Swipe through. Then sit with it 👀 This is exactly why Women Who Werkkk exists, a community built for and by the women this industry keeps undervaluing. And we’re just getting started 🤍 Our launch event is on the 23rd. Link in bio to register.
