Adventurous Women

Once again, WORD takes you on an adventurous night of storytelling with five incredible women who take risks in their personal and professional lives, hosted by journalism teacher and compulsive reader Jo Malcolm.

Kyle Mewburn’s memoir "Faking It" is an account of growing up and outwardly becoming the woman she always was; Julie Zarifeh countered unimaginable tragedy with travel and an adventurous spirit; Anjum Rahman stands up for the voices of Muslim women to be heard; Emily Writes is a bold voice for mothers and children online and in books; and Dr Hinemoa Elder’s bestselling book Aroha shows us how we can live with love, compassion and empathy. Book early for a night like no other!

Please note: Hinemoa Elder will now be appearing via video link, and the event will now be hosted by Jo Malcolm.

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED FROM THE THE PIANO TO THE DOUGLAS LILBURN AUDITORIUM, CHRISTCHURCH TOWN HALL.

Please note: All events are general admission seating. The safety of our audience is paramount: please arrive early, scan in and wear a mask. Audience numbers are capped under COVID Alert Level 2 and social distancing measures will be in place within each venue.
