In Conversation with Dr Alice Mpofu-Coles
Annual Edith Morley Event 2026
Join us for an unforgettable evening of insight, inspiration, and powerful storytelling. Mayor Alice Mpofu-Coles shares her remarkable journey, covering everything from challenges to change-making! This live interview session will uncover the passion, resilience, and bold decisions shaping her leadership and transforming our community. Expect a lively atmosphere with thought-provoking discussions covering women's health, academia, the gender divide for women in politics, plus lived experiences of micro- and macro-aggressions for women of colour. Come along for the opportunity to hear it all — unfiltered and up-close.
The evening will also feature a live audience Q&A, giving you the chance to ask your own questions and engage directly with one of today’s most dynamic civic leaders. Whether you’re passionate about community development or simply love meaningful conversations, this event promises to leave you energised and inspired.
