AdminAfter a five-year hiatus, ZafigoX is making a grand return this October 12-13, 2024, at Menara KEN TTDI. Titled ZafigoX 2024: Rejuvenation, the event, organised by women and travel platform Zafigo.com, promises to reignite the passion for exploration among women with two days of engaging talks, insightful workshops, and inspiring performances. The event is curated to empower women through the lens of travel, bringing together influential figures from around the globe to share their knowledge and experiences.
ZafigoX 2024 will feature a stellar line-up of international and local female trailblazers. Among the international speakers is Asma Khan, a prominent UK entrepreneur and advocate for social change in the food industry, alongside Dr. Mona Minkara, known as the ‘Blind Traveler,’ who advocates for accessible travel for the blind. Palestinian journalist Plestia Alaqad and etiquette expert Sara Jane Ho, host of Netflix’s Mind Your Manners, will also share their unique perspectives.
Locally, leading voices like Suri Kempe, a gender equality advocate, and contemporary artist Red Hong Yi will take the stage. Datuk Nicol Ann David, Malaysia’s squash legend, will participate in a conversation with Zafigo.com founder, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, about her work empowering underprivileged youth through the Nicol David Organisation. The event will also feature performances by local talents like poet Sheena Baharudin and Sabah-based singer Velvet Aduk.
Hands-On Workshops to Inspire and Educate
The event will also feature an array of workshops on October 12, designed to offer practical tools for personal growth through travel. Participants can join hands-on sessions led by experts like Chef Sapna Anand, who will showcase the fusion of Malaysian spices and chocolate in cooking, and dancer January Low, who will introduce mindfulness through the classical Indian dance form of Odissi. Other workshops include journaling with top Malaysian journaler Tercia Goh and self-defense techniques for travelers with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master Cassandra J. Poyong.
These workshops, priced at RM50 per person, aim to inspire creativity, mindfulness, and empowerment among women, providing them with tools that they can carry with them on their travels.
