We held a public Away Day on Wednesday 20th September. It was an opportunity to rest and replenish yourself and find out more about what we offer at Jijaze. 
Session One: Mary Ann speaks to Meg Kissack is the founder of That Hummingbird Life and the host of The Couragemakers Podcast. Meg works to encourage, inspire and rebel-rouse fellow multi-passionates. Together they talked about why self-care really matters to us as women passionate about changing the world. 
Session Two: Mary Ann talks to Kimberly Weiss is a body neutral, BS-free teacher, writer and speaker. She helps women stop being an asshole to themselves in a way that doesn’t involve sugar cleanses or a daily vision board. She and Mary Ann spoke about finding movement that makes you feel good instead of what you think you “should” be doing.

Session Five: Desiree Adaway is a seasoned nonprofit consultant and facilitator. All of her presentations have a mix of thought-provoking content presented with humor and wit. When she teaches she makes a point to connect with every person, and create a safe space for their growth. Mary Ann talks with Desiree about why we all (and those in international development work in particular!) need to wake up and smell the patriarchal conditioning that keeps us busy and overstretched.
