March Forward in Cheetham Hill for women of colour on international women’s day

Helen Clarke

Social Butterfly is a thriving creative community for black and brown women artists, musicians, creatives, and entrepreneurs coming together and they're inviting you to celebrate international women's day with them - in collaboration with pink print.

The interactive showcase features exhibitions and live demonstrations from hairstylists to make-up artists to live performances from the Manchester music scene to hearing from young panelists.

Created for women of colour and taking place on Saturday 8th March at 2pm, the showcase is hosted at Avan Lounge, 165 Great Ducie St, Cheetham Hill, Manchester.

One Social Butterfly organiser said: "Social Butterfly’s mission is to empower women of colour and other marginalised groups in society by fostering equal opportunities in the creative industries.

"We aim to create a supportive, safe space where creatives can gain experience, develop skills, and build meaningful connections to thrive both personally and professionally."

Whether travelling with friends or solo, organisers say the event is perfect for black and brown women looking to make new friends and connections.

Some of the things on offer on the day include live wig installs, tasty food from black owned restaurant Avan Lounge, prize draws, and products from local businesses.
