Broadstairs Celebrates Women's Day with Empowerment Event

The community in Broadstairs, Kent, marked International Women's Day with a two-day event focused on hair styling and makeup artistry, organized by Ijeoma Glory Emeh in collaboration with Lilian Opara and Clarya Hair Beauty Ltd. The initiative, held at Sliqu Beauty Bar, aimed to empower women by providing them with practical skills and creative expression opportunities.

The first day concentrated on hair styling techniques, while the second day was dedicated to makeup artistry, allowing participants to gain hands-on experience. The event was supported by the local community, including the Mayor of Broadstairs, who attended the first day alongside his wife.

This initiative aligns with the 2026 global theme for International Women's Day, emphasizing the importance of investing in women's education and mentorship. Emeh, who has a lifelong passion for community service, expressed her commitment to creating opportunities for women to feel confident and empowered.

The program, which initially launched in 2025, aims to expand its reach and impact in the future.
