In conjunction with International Women's Day, this Seek to Speak's podcast special features Women with Words, our safe and supportive speaking club! Here, we hope to celebrate the voices and stories of Malaysian women on their ability and confidence to speak as well as express themselves.  


Women with Words is a platform where women and girls can deliver their speeches based on a theme, share their ideas, and obtain feedback. We aim to create a safe and supportive space for women & girls to express themselves. In the process, we also hope to build confident female speakers through speech practice, a supportive community, as well as meaningful group discussions.


Join us on the 13th of March 2021 at 3pm to share your thoughts and opinions on the theme, Expression! Simply register here.


Get more updates and information on the club on our FB group at 'My Female Speaking Club'.


Also check out past speeches shared during our meetings on our YouTube channel here.


Special Thanks to Alison, Pratibha, Sasha, Alycia, Amrit, and Kuljit for sending in their snippets. And a big THANK YOU to Maslin who helped review all the snippets and put them together!
