Laptops and Drinks
Laptops and Drinks was inspired by a group of professional black women coming together, wanting to share some of the honest conversations about life’s dilemmas and experiences. Growing up we recognised that there were so many areas not discussed by our parents. Together we have shared our learning and impact on us in adulthood from these taboo subjects, secrecy or just not knowing. There is such power in overcoming situations however sometimes we are scared to share. Where does this come from? Is it personal, cultural? This and a lot more will be covered.
Each week we will have a guest to sit and talk with about life’s dilemmas along with lots of other fun/interesting topics and takeaways.
