Balance the Scales: Living at the Intersections
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM AEDT • Theatrette, Victorian Pride Centre + Livestream
Join Pride in Diversity for our annual Sapphire International Women’s Day Panel as we explore this year’s theme, “Balance the Scales”. This powerful conversation brings together leaders whose lived experiences sit at the intersections of multiple identities. Together, they will examine how these intersections shape inclusion, exclusion, belonging, community and culture.
What to expect
An inspiring, thought‑provoking discussion that amplifies sapphic LGBTQ+ voices and offers insights into identity, leadership and the ongoing work of building inclusive systems.
Speakers include:
Aunty Annette Xiberras – Managing Director, Urban Colours Cultural Resource Managers
Dr Judy Tang – Clinical Neuropsychologist; Commissioner, Victorian Multicultural Commission
Anastasia Le – Change Agent; Victorian Honour Roll of Women; VPC Board Director
Madeline Hogan – Triple Paralympic Medallist; High‑Performance Advocate
Hosted by CB (she/they), Senior Relationship Manager VIC & SA, Pride in Diversity, with IWD reflections from Michelle Sheppard (she/her).
