Women have always been an oppressed lot. History tells many tales of horrors done to women. While it was mostly unheard of in the past, social media has seen to it that more people talk about such atrocities and also try to create awareness and empower women to stand up for themselves. These are dialogues that must happen regularly so that the momentum is not lost. Think Geek Media feels the same too. With the success of the first edition, graced by the presence of Ms. Sathya Sara, one of India’s well-known personalities and also the former editor of Femina magazine, they now bring us the second edition between 31st August and 1st September 2018. It’s clear that the Knowledge is Power initiative is fast becoming something to look forward to.
Think Geek Media presents the second edition of the EMPOWER #KnowledgeisPower initiative
The tagline of this initiative is ’empowered women empower women’ and it holds true every day. The EMPOWER #KnowledgeisPower empowerment initiative is a CSR endeavor to #Inform #Inspire #Influence in creating and supporting present and future thought leaders of our collective society and community.
Ethel da Costa, Founder-CEO of Think Geek Media had invited Ms. Saran to Goa for the first edition last month. It was an enlightening affair with dialogues on thought leadership, well being, self-care, and empowerment of the spirit being the center of attraction. The event was held at the newly built Andores Resort and Spa in Calangute. Other collaborators included Mr. Nitin Bandekar of 1930 Vasco, Goa Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and Community partner – Go Womania besides Mr. Edgar Afonso and Mr. Joel Fernandes from Andores.
The plan for the initiative is to bring personalities from different fields like Art, Film, Music, and Women’s issues to Goa once a month. The idea behind it is to create a shared environment for inspirational learning, self-development, information sharing platforms.
Transformational Author-Sports Entrepreneur, Sonalli Gupta will be in Goa for this edition
