PRECIOUS Nights at The British Library | November

Join us for the November edition of our monthly PRECIOUS Nights at the British Library networking event featuring three award-winning women of colour in business.

Each event features a panel of previous PRECIOUS Awards category winners sharing their insights and top-tips.

Over the years, the Awards have grown into a flagship event characterised by open and generous sharing of stories, strategies, challenges and experiences: a room full of exceptional women in business all ‘paying it forward’ and creating a unique atmosphere of collaboration and motivation.

Now, we’ve decided that once a year isn’t enough and so we’re thrilled to share this series of networking events that capture the PRECIOUS Awards spirit all year round. Tickets are £10 and include a netwoking drinks reception.

Meet our panel:

SUNNY CHOUDHERY

Sunny, is the founder of Tweezy; a multi-award winning, revolutionary one-step facial hair-removal tool.

After earning a first-class degree in Politics, Sunny realised that she had too many ambitions and ideas to work in a traditional office-based job. Upon noticing a crucial gap in the market, Sunny immediately decided to invest her savings in launching what she was sure would be the answer to countless women’s prayers: a cost-effective, hygienic and long-lasting DIY hair-removal tool.

Sunny uses her own experiences of womanhood in developing products to resolve female problems that are often placed under a taboo. More recently she has been developing a reusable menstrual product, that not only highlights important feminine struggles but also on a practical level is cost-effective, hygienic and eco-friendly – much like the Tweezy. The ‘Bloody Heaven’ menstrual cup is set to launch by the end of the year.

Tweezy won Busines of the Year at the 8th Annual PRECIOUS Awards
