🌟 What’s Happening on the Day
This isn’t your typical sit-down-and-listen event. Food for Thought is a vibrant space for open conversation, where real stories, lived experiences, and heartfelt ideas take centre stage.
Through honest discussion and shared experiences, we’ll explore:
- What confidence really means
- How beauty and identity are defined in disability spaces
- Why representation matters and how we can all play a part
And yes, there’s a glam station and a catwalk moment too because feeling fabulous is part of the experience.
🌟 Meet the voices behind the mic
- Monique Jeremiah – Entrepreneur, model, and advocate for inclusive beauty who is redefining the industry’s standards one step at a time
- Storm Menzies – Fierce makeup artist and disability advocate with a passion for helping others feel good in their skin
- Alicia Melita – Performer, MC, and champion of diversity in the arts, bringing heart and humour to every stage she’s on
Each speaker brings a different perspective, but they all share one thing: a belief in the importance of visibility, self-expression, and unfiltered confidence.
🌈 Why this matters
Events like Food for Thought don’t just start conversations, they build community.
They remind us that:
- Confidence looks different for everyone
- Our voices and stories are powerful
- There is beauty in showing up as your full self
Whether you’re someone with disability navigating everyday life, or a support worker, friend, or ally, this event is a chance to connect in a space that’s safe, welcoming, and joyful.
Let’s stop trying to fit in. Let’s start celebrating what makes us stand out.
