Our Story
She Connects Founders


Founded by Kareena Kumari and Keeya Saund, She Connects began as a shared dream between two women passionate about creating something they couldn’t find for themselves: a welcoming community where women could connect, grow, and feel inspired. The two met by chance, and their shared vision quickly turned into a meaningful mission.
During their first meeting, the two bonded over how difficult it was to find a space that fostered genuine connection, wellness, and self-development. Kareena shared her idea of starting a women’s networking event in Southampton. Keeya, an accomplished businesswoman with several ventures to her name, immediately brought her “let’s do it” attitude to the conversation. Together, they realised they had the perfect balance of vision, drive, and passion to turn their idea into reality.
She Connects was born out of the belief that when women come together, they can create something extraordinary. It’s not just about networking; it’s about building meaningful relationships, uplifting one another, and creating a space where women feel empowered to thrive. Kareena and Keeya envisioned events that go beyond the corporate and male-dominated spaces they’d experienced - spaces designed to prioritise wellness, personal growth, and authentic connection.
“Empowered women empower women” - it’s not just a quote to us; it’s our entire mission.
