Sometimes you have an idea and follow it, but you have no clue that it could be the start of something new…
That happened to me in June, when I wanted to bring together a few creative women in Brighton - to test the UK waters so to speak; since I’m fairly new to the country. I wanted to learn more what I can do in the future with Moksi Collective to build a community of female creatives and entrepreneurs. Well it turned out that the future was already here!
We gathered together on a hot Tuesday morning at the lovely Junction Studio in the city centre of Brighton. Seven ladies who all have a different background, came together and created such a positive energy of collaborating, learning from each other and feeling inspired, that at the end of that morning, the message was clear - we need to continue this more often, with more women.
And we did! The next Meetup was in July, which was so much fun! Other women attended and our theme of that night was ‘Believe to Grow’. I’m looking forward to share that one soon in a separate video.
For the rest of 2019 these are the following dates where we will have our evening Meetups in Brighton:
September 25 - October 30 - November 20
Thanks to the talents of Nick who creates the MC videos, seeing this small idea come alive and continue to grow, my wish is that more women will join to create more connections and collaborations. After all, community over competition is part of our mission!
Do you want to be at one of the next Meetups? Join our community and sign up below to be on the MC list and be the first to know when the next tickets are on sale. There are Limited Spaces available, so it’s worth to be notified first.
For now, have a look at ‘Gathering’ - our first MC Brighton Meetup in June.
Thanks for being here!

They say, comparison is the thief of joy and this made me wonder...
Do you ever look at someone else's work and wonder why they are more successful than you? Do you think: How come she has more followers? Why is her body prettier or thinner than mine? Why is her work featured every time and mine is not? How much money does she make? She's just lucky...
Do you?

Some day - after all this is over and we are running around again in our busy lives - we'll look back at this lockdown and see the importance of slowing down.

I always say that living in New York City has thought me to Own My Story.
Well, the part of owning your story and sharing it with others online - to inspire or empower - also means that you need to be vulnerable. I'm okay with this part.

Hello Everyone,
Tomorrow, Monday March 30th, I'm hosting a 40 minutes Zoom Chat for all of you, who want to talk about moving forward - whether in your business or personal development.
"We are at our finest when we take care of each other"
As we all live in very uncertain times, due to the Corona virus spreading around the world, these last few days I've been thinking long and hard what to do regarding the Meetups…
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
DUE TO THE SPREADING OF THE CORONA VIRUS,
THIS AND OTHER MC EVENTS, ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
“For many years I’ve moved from country to country and last year - when I moved from New York City to Brighton - I had this small idea of bringing women together.
To hold a space for each other, to connect and collaborate, to learn and to grow. That’s how the first Creative Meetup started.
And you know what happened? There was magic in the air. Because there’s something special about a group of women gathering together, making real connections with each other - face to face….”
