Can Small Voices Ever Make A Big Enough Difference? | Gucci Gang [S1E8]

In this episode we chat to Thais and Angelina from Gucci Gang, a collective of Parisian creatives who have started Safe Place - an online community to support women with the aim of changing the gender conversation entirely. Their work involves allowing women a safe space in which to talk and to ultimately create change - which brings us onto the wider conversation of how groups of individuals can actually make a difference?This is the first of two episodes that will dive into the topic of activism, with the next one being a live panel discussion on November 20th in London.Angelina, Thais, Annie and Will share personal stories that explore why the world of activism is changing, how we ensure we don't put people off by the large-scale, media grabbing headlines of spokesperson-led activism and ultimately ask, can small voices ever make a big enough difference?If you are affected by anything discussed in this episode, please speak to a professional. We are not experts, and everything we talk about is from personal experience. Our charity partner for the series is The Mix UK, who provide essential support for Under 25 year olds, and would be a good place to start if you want someone to talk to.TOMS, our partner for the episode, are also partnering with Gucci Gang to bring Safe Place events to women in Paris, allowing them to build communities, share and grow as a movement.This episode was recorded at L'Orangerie Studio in Paris.Our next panel, which will be recorded as Can We Just Ask episode 9, is entitled 'Why are women still paying for their sex?' on November 20th.
