SEBN Showcasing Women in Business
About this Event
Join us in celebrating the journeys of migrant women as they navigate pathways to employment, entrepreneurship, and belonging.
Behind every job is a journey — one shaped by resilience, courage, and determination. A Journey to Work brings together women from diverse cultural backgrounds to share their personal experiences of finding work, rebuilding careers, and overcoming barriers in a new country.
Through storytelling, discussion, and connection, this event aims to honour these journeys while fostering understanding, support, and opportunity.
Through powerful storytelling from SisterWorks speakers, you’ll hear firsthand experiences of courage, determination, and success—from women who have overcome significant barriers to build meaningful careers and new lives in Australia.
This special event brings together women in business from across Greater Dandenong to connect and be inspired by the strength of our diverse community.
Presenters:
Agatha (Nigeria) joined SisterWorks in 2025 after more than two years out of work and is now employed at L’Oréal, where she continues to build her career and professional networks.
Marynel (Venezuela) arrived in Australia in 2014 with her husband and 3 year old son, building a pathway into entrepreneurship and employment while pursuing her passion for art.
