That's What She Said

Acts: Otegha Uwagba, Margot Noel, Grace Pilkington

Are you ready? For Books’ Sake’s night of spoken word all written and performed by women is here to welcome a wide range of speakers, from slam poetry to storytelling, contemporary political thought to comedy. We bring women’s voices to the forefront, while at the same time giving a platform to writers and performers we love.

Speaking on the night:

Otegha Uwagba (@OteghaUwagba) is the founder of Women Who, a platform she created to connect and support creative working women worldwide, and an endeavour inspired by her time working at some of London’s top ad agencies and cult youth brand Vice Media. Besides running Women Who, she is also a freelance writer and brand consultant. Otegha was born in Lagos, Nigeria and grew up in South London, where she lives still.

Margot Noel (@margotnoelsays) is a writer with experience working for advertising agencies, blogs and online magazines in Paris, Sydney, London, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Singapore. For the past six months, she has been writing a play. On post-its, and notebooks, and books, and even on her sheets, in the middle of the night. It will be her first time performing in front of an audience since this chaotic play she starred in at age 13 (also known as the end of her acting career).

Open mic walk ups on the evening are welcomed but with limited places it might be advisable to email paul@forbookssake.net if you have a burning desire to speak out and speak up. 

And remember - For Books' Sake is a volunteer led, community organisation so all your pennies will be going back into championing women writers!

Time: 7pm - 10pm
