Sandra Sully AGENDA coffee book

Published: Monday, 18 May 2020

Through speaking on stage together at Vogue magazine’s Vogue Codes event together in Sydney in 2018, Sandra Sully invited me to take part in her Agenda book alongside Cate Blanchett and 12 other remarkable leading Australian women. The AGENDA 2020 book is the result of a project partnership between photographer Danielle Harte, publisher Phil Harte, and journalist Sandra Sully. Its aim is to raise money for charity and to raise awareness of equal rights for women.  The book launched during International Women's Week from 1-8 March across Australia.  Here's a photo of me taken for the book:
