WCS > LDN | Queer Women In Business | Meet up | Nov 2024

New for our London community, join for an informal meet-up to forge intergenerational support networks between Queer Women in London. These events have been incredibly well received over in Barcelona and this will be our second one here in London!

This group is aimed at anyone who identifies as a Queer Woman, femme or who is impacted by being perceived/socialised as a woman in society and would benefit from making new connections in the city - discussing topics, finding support, learning about other experiences, mentorship and acquiring potential tools for personal and professional growth. Male allies are welcome to listen in, learn & show their support.

We’re bringing intergenerational Queer Women together to network, build lasting and nurturing friendships, reflect on challenges, and inspire each other as we work towards creating safer and more inclusive spaces - for ALL women.

Special thanks to for their support and for allowing us to use their space in London for this event.

"Here at Locke, we're excited to collaborate with We Create Space on this event that aligns perfectly with our mission. We believe their innovative concept is not only unique but also incredibly relevant in today’s world.

At Locke, our goal is to create more than just beautifully designed aparthotels and spaces—we strive to build sanctuaries that foster a sense of belonging, inspire free-thinking, and encourage discovery. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to offering experiences that celebrate individuality and keep us connected, both at work and in life."

Speaker biographies

Char Erskine (they/them) - Guest speaker |Char is a Black, queer, non-binary and neurodivergent person of Antiguan and Jamaican heritage. They live with late-diagnosed ADHD and long-term mental health battles and shares their lived experience at the intersection of all these things to drive conversation, curiosity, and authentic connection between people.

Professionally, Char works in DEI in the legal sector, channeling their special interest in all things equity, inclusion, accessibility, and social justice into the corporate environment. They carry the DEI torch with a long-term mission to bring social awareness, education, and humanity into corporate spaces.

Char believes in the power of safe storytelling to centre real people in conversations about equity, inclusion, and belonging.

"Showing up authentically is something that brings great power to oneself, while amplifying your vulnerability as part of a marginalised community. I long for the day that being myself at work is not seen as an act of bravery, and where the curiosity about who we are as a diverse group of humans is channeled into stronger working relationships and our collective success." Char Erskine
