Meet and collaborate with extraordinary women from diverse backgrounds through this inspiring new ladies-only clique
Finally.
That’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of Voices, a new ladies-only membership club that launched in Cape Town in April 2015. For as I sit with Shelley Webb, the UK-born founder of the unique association, to get an in-depth explanation of exactly what the initiative is all about, I find myself wishing, more and more, that something like this existed a long time ago.
While there are sororities of various types sprawled across the city, Voices, as Shelley explains, differs in that its main aim is to create a space where women from any background can come together to collaborate and network not only on a business level but also on a social one. So, the society helps to foster both corporate relationships and meaningful friendships and is thus the sort of all-round supportive platform that the Mother City’s female community has craved for years.
