About us
AUDACITY is a one-day conference that invites women — and the allies who support them — to step into their boldest selves. Rooted in the voices and vision of Black-Irish women, this gathering is for anyone who has ever been told to shrink… and chose to rise instead. It’s for the dreamers, the disruptors, the quiet rebels, and the fierce believers in change.
We’re not just hosting an event — we’re building a space where courage is contagious, confidence is celebrated, and community is everything. From thought-provoking talks and creative performances to real-life workshops and an unforgettable awards evening, AUDACITY is where your story meets others — and together, we rise.
Organised by the Black Irish Sisters Network, AUDACITY is proudly inclusive, intentionally powerful, and open to all.
Real voices. Brave stories. Bold ideas.
This platform will feature articles, interviews, photo stories, and personal reflections from women and allies who embody the spirit of AUDACITY. From behind-the-scenes glimpses to speaker Q&As, to lessons learned and community features — stay tuned as we share the moments that matter most.

Event Notes and highlights
Inspiring keynotes, powerful wellness talks, hands-on leadership workshops, and vibrant networking moments that uplifted, educated, and united our sisterhood.
They told us to shrink. Instead, we gathered. This is what audacity looks like.
We weren’t invited to the table — so we built our own. And brought chairs for others.
Audacity isn’t noise. It’s the quiet decision to be seen anyway
