Spaces for women to connect and belong
We empower women of all ages and backgrounds through workshops and events that foster genuine connection, personal growth, and a strong sense of community.
Our Values
To cultivate a space where every woman feels seen, supported, and empowered to lead with grace and intention within her community.
Intentionality
We believe in living with purpose. Every programme and gathering is designed with careful thought for our members' well-being.
Deep Connection
Beyond networking, we foster genuine sisterhood. We value the quiet conversations as much as the grand milestones.
Empowerment
We foster confidence and celebrate the unique strengths of our women, equipping them with the resources to realise their full potential.
Finding beauty in the collective journey.
Akuol is the founder of Akuolie, an organisation dedicated to building inclusive spaces where women can connect, grow, and feel a sense of belonging. After migrating to Australia as a child, she recognised early the lack of accessible community spaces for immigrant women.
Her experience moving to Melbourne during the 2021 lockdown deepened this understanding, as she and many others struggled to find spaces that reflected their identities and experiences. Akuolie was created in response.
The name Akuolie is a reflection of Akuol’s own story, combining her name, passed down from her great grandmother, with the “ie” added by her Australian friends. This blend of cultures sits at the heart of the organisation’s mission to create a space where all women in Australia, regardless of who they are or where they come from, can belong.
