Ngl I was nervous about this one myself, with it being the first female panel we've had at a Batley Entrepreneurship Club event.
But the feedback, love, support, energy from the crowd was fantastic.
The really positive thing, it wasn't just the women that were inspired; so many men provided glowing praise as well.
A fair few teenagers and young people in the room were buzzin' too.
A big THANK you to Annissa Mohsin, Sobiya Jawaid and Rooji The Foodie talking about their journeys and sharing their unique insights.
Feedback included people saying they were happy to hear the vulnerable, difficult parts rather than just the good things.
It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable on stage in front of lots of people - approx. 88 turned up on the night from 107 registrations.
Huge thank you to EVERYONE that attended - once again people travelled from far and wide to lil ol' Batley đ
Huge thank you to the local businesses that supported: Chaiiwala Batley, Zahoor Sakharkar & Spices & Rices.
Huge thank you to the supporters and sponsors:
đď¸ CK Foods (Omar Bhamji)
đď¸ West Yorkshire Combined Authority
Shout out to the BEC members who also took the stage about their projects.
And a massive thank you to ALL the volunteers & helpers who make nights like this happen.
This is Batley, where things happen...and it happened last night!
