(HIRED) Project Lead, The Soulfuls Mentorship Program)

Der skal være bedre muligheder for alle kvinder på arbejdsmarkedet – uanset  kulturel baggrund. Det er den klare ambition bag The Soulfuls. Foreningen, der startede i 2018, har nu fået støtte af Tuborgfondet til at sætte turbo på mentorprogrammet 'Dreamers and Doers'. Programmet vil ændre narrativet om hvem, der har talent og kan få foden indenfor døren i den kreative branche. Både til gavn for de unge kvinder, men også til gavn for erhvervslivet, som længe har arbejdet med intentionen om en mere divers arbejdsstyrke og et inkluderende arbejdsmiljø.
