✨ Cheer Up Luv Talks ✨ is a brand new panel series from Eliza Hatch exploring pressing issues affecting women, girls, and the queer community. The first panel focused on misogyny in music, inspired by Eliza’s recent photo and interview project with Glamour UK, and featured incredible insights from Mica Sefia, Eve Horne, Moonchild Sanelly & Lucy Morgan 🖤
The series aims to not only spotlight challenges but also explore solutions, inspire action, and put pressure on those with power to make change. Each talk will bring together different experts and topics impacting women, from financial and tech literacy, to healthcare, to education to continue the conversation, in different locations.

As well as taking part in a panel with a group of changemakers and hosting a fireside chat with Ben Hurst from Beyond Equality, Eliza delivered a speech about how art and social media can challenge societal norms, empower individuals, and reclaim public spaces.
"Our community of emerging London creatives greatly benefited from hearing how Eliza uses visual arts as a vehicle for change, and how they can incorporate advocacy into their own creative practices."
