The girl with the loudest voice. How to find your opinions and cheerleaders.
”It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent”
Madeline K Albright
Following on from the last 2 sell-out panel events Bloom North will return for their final panel event of 2022 – The Girl with the Loudest Voice. This panel will explore the challenges women especially have in finding their voice, and the troublesome feedback that they face about being too loud or not loud enough, but ultimately will arm attendees with advice to help them develop and find their own unique voice, and unleash the power their voices can have.
However, this event will also provide guidance to attendees about how they can support those in their lives in developing and finding their voice.
In typical Bloom style, this event will be empowering, honest and provocative, with a diverse range of panellists from a host of industries.

Sabrina is lucky enough to live a triple life. The first is as Strategy Director at the7stars media agency, where she has over 12 years of experience in strategic media and creative planning. She's also a semi-professional singer; most recently performing in The Royal Variety Show, The Brits and making regular appearances on Channel 4's The Last Leg. Next year, she will be making her acting debut in a new play that explores the humourous side of the imposter syndrome epidemic. Most importantly, Sabrina is a devoted 'dog mom', so perhaps that makes it a quadruple life...
