Tara Talks: How to Generate Social Impact
#TaraTalks premiered on April 25 at Club Matador , where we presented the social impact of the Tara For Women Foundation , through Art and Sustainable Entrepreneurship , with the testimonies of two entrepreneurs from the Tara For Women family, Amaia Rodríguez ( Founder of The Gravity Wave ) and Alejandra Glez ( Multidisciplinary Artist ).
Bill Saad, our founder , opened the day by discussing the importance of supporting women entrepreneurs with a social impact. Bill emphasized the responsibility and importance of organizations such as Tara For Women , as an essential support agent for women who want to undertake social impact and support their families and the community around them.
Next up, Amaia Rodríguez Sola, Co-Founder of Gravity Wave , explained the impact that Tara For Women's support has had on the development of The Gravity this year. Amaia shared Gravity's work in caring for the sea and oceans to build a future with a clean and vital planet, involving companies and fishing communities, achieving an impact of collecting almost 100,000 kilos of plastic removed from the Mediterranean Sea and its coasts.
Afterwards, Alejandra Glez, a multidisciplinary artist, explained the performance she presented of her work 'Volver a nacer' ( LINK TO THE VIDEO OF THE PERFORMANCE ON HER INSTAGRAM ) at the Thyssen Museum @museothyssen , within the framework of the second edition of the cycle of performances Visión y presencia with which the museum seeks to give visibility to creative women, collaborating @thegravitywave with Alejandra, giving her fishing nets collected from the sea to present them in the costumes of her work.
Closing the discussion, Alejandro Rojas , mentor of the Gingko Africa Limited project , told us about his experience of being a mentor, the importance that this mentoring has had for him throughout the year and the evolution of the supported project. Alejandro invited everyone to join and be part of the mentoring of entrepreneurial projects and feel the satisfaction of accompanying projects to success.
