Curiosity Club Melbourne Speaker Event: Effie Nkrumah - Multi-hyphenate Creative Leader

Effie Nkrumah takes the stage at the very first Curiosity Club Melbourne evening, a new type of speaker event for the women* of our city. Founded in Paris, Curiosity Club is an organisation that encourages everyone to take a step closer to gender equality every day through the power of curiosity. With a network of clubs across France, and in cities such as London, Amsterdam, and Montreal, Curiosity Club has delivered unique events showcasing inspiring women, to over 40,000 people. Effie is an award-winning actor, speaker, consultant, director, and voice artist of Ghanaian descent. But her story goes beyond the usual. Her conviction? To challenge the single story of Africa. Through her work, Effie champions voices of the African diaspora, ripping up assumptions about the continent and its place in history, telling truths about its people and their cultures. From Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Neighbours to directing MJ the Musical, from her tableau vivant series showing in Sydney, New York and Accra to voicing Astra in VALORANT for over a million players worldwide, Effie has built a career grounded in authenticity and community. And now, she’s using her voice to encourage others to use theirs. Through Effie's talk we'll explore identity, versatility and the courage to take up space in industries that weren’t always designed for you. Forging your own path across disciplines and cultures and turning many passions into one meaningful practice. Join us for a night full of inspiration, new connections, and fabulous food and drink in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

🕕 Doors open: 6:00 PM for mingling over food and 🥂 🎤 Talk starts: 6:45 PM, followed by a Q&A session We invite you to stay for more socialising from 8pm before the event ends at 8.30pm.
