Side Walks is a dynamic, one-day celebration of storytelling in its various forms across Northbridge and the Perth CBD. Bringing together artists, writers, journalists and poets from across multiple disciplines, Side Walks presents six free unique events in venues both usual and unusual. From poetry to crime writing, literature to oral storytelling, these engaging events will inspire, challenge, and delight.

Mani Gomes, Lisa Longman (CEO) and Shenali Perera (Program Facilitator) from The Young Boxing Woman Project weave personal stories with socio-political commentary to discuss the practice of claiming space – an act of rebellion in a world that tells women to stay in their lane.

  Lisa is focused on creating conversations, challenging mindsets and facilitating change. Utilizing her experience in traditional commercial enterprises to create an effective and targeted for-purpose model. She is the founder of The Young Boxing Woman Project: a project to build confidence and leadership skills disguised as a boxing program, leveraging the evidenced based links between physical achievements in sports and achievement in education and career. Empowering women to claim their space without apology, because being willing to make mistakes and fail is the only way to learn and improve. Growing up around the world, with a diverse family entrenched the knowledge that no matter where you went, women were the driving force that kept the world running, and that gendered challenges were a global issue.
