Kipepeo- Victoria #BackHerBrilliance

Kipepeo is a business dedicated to designing multilingual games and toys that promote diversity. It is inspired by my family's experience as a multilingual and multicultural family.

Paty says: "I have re-invented myself a few times to “fit-it” but it is time for me to practice self-leadership and let my potential grow. I want to be independent and manage my own time. Our journey as a multilingual family, keeping our diverse languages and cultures alive inspired the creation of Kipepeo. As a family, we decided to maintain our four languages and have done so through play, books, music and storytelling with our children. Combining my design experience, Montessori schooling and a passion for play, our games and toys were born."

Yindi Artz- South Australia

YINDI ARTZ Yindi Artz is a 100% Aboriginal owned business, operated by proud Wiradjuri woman De Greer-Yindimincarlie. Yindi Artz produces Authentic Aboriginal Creations, specialising in graphic design, Reconciliation Action Plans artworks and layout, textile design, film editing, music composition, bicycle frame customisation, hand made jewellery and Aboriginal gifts and resources.

De is an award-winning artist, winning 2008 South East QLD NAIDOC award - distinguished services in the Visual Arts Industry, and the 2013 National Deadly award in the Professional Deadly Dressed category, for a collaborative piece the ‘Yindi’ dress, which graced her textile design. Also in 2011 and 2013 De was nominated for a Deadly award for Artist of the Year.

“For me it’s the only thing that made sense. After completing a degree at University, and running a music business beforehand, going back into the arts was just a natural path that I followed. Creating for me is a compulsion and need, it is how I make sense of things, the world, my life and everything around it. Being a full-time artist at times doesn’t pay the bills, but the alternative would absolutely destroy my soul.”

Grassroots Movement Australia - Victoria #BackHerBrilliance

Grassroots movement was born back in early 2019 to help reduce the carbon footprint left from the overuse of plastic containers. We envisioned a concept to educate and inspire our customers to use products that were made with naturally sourced ingredients and eco friendly packaging. We’re going back to ‘grassroots’, back to the days of pre plastic and simply packaged products to be kept in reusable containers that will significantly reduce waste. Eliminating the use of plastic and chemicals is just one small step in our authentically Australian vision into a sustainable & eco friendly world.

Annod - New South Wales #BackHerBrilliance

“By seventeen, I was a fully qualified Beauty Therapist, but I also had a full face of active acne. You name it, I’d tried every treatment and product I could get my hands on by my early twenties. My skin had improved but still showed scarring, redness and clogged pores. I applied a full face of makeup from the moment I got out of bed, just so I could face my housemates. I never left the house without a thick coat of foundation covering my face. Daily, I noticed other women keeping their head down or covering their face with their hands. I could relate to their pain and embarrassment. I recognised that awful feeling of looking in the mirror and not liking what was reflected no matter what age. I enjoyed my role as a professional Beauty Therapist for some years and was adept at helping people with their skin problems. The problem was that numerous products I prescribed my clients didn’t do their job. They were burning a hole in my client’s pockets, damaging my reputation, my business’ reputation and that of the industry. I began to experiment with my own naturally formulated products on my skin. It quickly began to heal. Clients started paying attention and began asking me to make products to fix their skin troubles too.

I became committed to producing skincare products that women loved to use, and that gave them healthy, vibrant skin they’d long been chasing. Skin that other women commented on, skin that gave them confidence and a face they loved to look at in the mirror. Products that felt and smelt beautiful to use. Natural products they felt good about using. Natural, healing ingredients that granted quick, visible results. What I didn’t realise at the time was that I was creating a complete beauty therapy experience that women could enjoy in their own home, every single day of the week.

After years of working with skin and studying cosmetic chemistry, aromatherapy, energy and wellness, I'm more passionate than ever about the difference Annod has made to countless women’s skin and self- confidence.”

Meet our Sister Glenis

Glenis Wilkinson YOGA + MEDITATION - Queensland #BackHerBrilliance

While taking part in an outdoor yoga class in Brisbane, Glenis Wilkinson was inspired to start her own business teaching yoga. “I can do this,” she thought and so she did, kicking off several years ago by offering classes on a gold coin donation basis.

Glenis has been practising yoga since 2001 and says it offers numerous psychological, emotional and physiological benefits such as health and fitness, physical and mental and emotional strength and balance, and a sense of tranquillity, things she wants to introduce to as many people as possible.

Glenis has a background in Hatha Yoga, Yoga Nidra (a state of between waking and sleep), in utilising yoga for anxiety and depression as well as in meditation, so she’s well-placed to offer her skills to others. “These practices give me the tools to manage life’s challenges,” she says. It makes perfect sense for Glenis to integrate her own practices with her working life while providing a ‘safe space’ for her clients to experience these things too.

Glenis’ business goal is to create a sustainable enterprise teaching and offering classes and workshops for individuals and groups in a wide variety of settings: community centres, gyms located in or near hospitals, outdoors in parks, in the wellness centres run by Brisbane City Council as well as in corporate workspaces.
Being a member of the Global Sisters Tribe for Glenis means enjoying the support, learning, gaining knowledge, inspiration, encouragement and mentorship the community provides.

Meet our Sister Karin

Florapeutic - New South Wales #BackHerBrilliance

Karin is a Sydney full-time mum with a dream of having her own venture that works around her family and provides financial independence. She worked in Corporate Marketing before her little one was born. Now she thinks it is time to leverage her expertise to make a difference so that our world becomes a better place to live. She also wants to be her child's role model showing that we all can live our dreams, big or small.

Karin started Florapeutic is that she loves flowers. Not only because they are beautiful, but also, they are therapeutic. They have the power to touch our souls and put smiles on our faces. She has also experienced the waste issue first-hand in their wedding when the couple and guests could not carry all the florals home at the end of the night, thus she feels the sadness of throwing the beautiful blooms away in every single event. Her passion for flowers led her to learn floristry skills, then she soon realised that a lot of waste is produced in the industry and decided to play a part in minimising the impact.

Florapeutic is a Sydney-based social enterprise on a mission to reduce waste and improve the mental health of the communities. They rescue fresh flowers used in events and repurpose them into sustainable flower gifts to soothe many souls.
* Donating to the local communities
* Reusing in mindful floral workshops for aged care and hospitals
* Creating one of a kind handmade floral artworks

Florapeutic aims to increase the awareness of the issues associated with waste and mental health, as well as the involvement of the communities. Their products and services help organisers to reduce waste going straight to the landfill and to be socially responsible, by prolonging their consumable timeframe. They offer these repurposed flowers as alternatives for the environmentally conscious community that are in line with their sustainable lifestyle.

Silver Turtle - New South Wales #BackHerBrilliance

“Silver Turtle promotes eco-friendly and sustainable products.

Climate change and global warming are real concerns and it's important that we start taking measures to reduce the harm starting now. By offering these eco-friendly alternatives at cost-effective prices, we hope that more people will start adapting to an eco-friendly lifestyle.”

Priyanka's goal is to get financially independent and at the same time educate and inform the market on climate change and how to live sustainably.
