Quotation:
Kareena, Co-Founder She Connects: “Thursday night was truly special. Seeing over 60 women come together, connect so openly, and celebrate the end of the year reminded us exactly why She Connects exists. The energy in the room was incredible, and we’re so grateful to our partners and sponsors for helping us create such a meaningful experience.”
Keeya, Co-Founder She Connects: “Our Christmas Party felt especially surreal because it also marked the anniversary of Kareena and I first meeting one year ago. Seeing women walk into a room and instantly feel comfortable, open, and connected is the reason She Connects exists. To be celebrating that here in Southampton, while knowing this same energy now lives in Bournemouth, London, and Dubai, was incredible. I want to thank everyone who has supported our community this year - what started in Southampton has grown beyond anything we could have imagined and is now being recognised internationally.”
Hurriya, Director of Southampton Heavenly Dessert: “Collaborating with She Connects for their Christmas Party was a genuinely uplifting experience. As a business owner based in Southampton, it’s incredibly important to support spaces where women feel empowered, celebrated, and connected. The evening was elegant, inspiring, and full of energy, and at Heavenly Desserts, we were proud to be part of a community that champions women supporting women.”
Saskia, Founder of Saskia Isla Rosa Photography: “It’s incredible to photograph for She Connects. The community is so warm, welcoming, and supportive, and the Christmas Party perfectly reflected that. Being able to connect with and capture so many inspiring individuals in such a safe, kind space is something I truly value.”
